Vinícius, 'The Best', Shatters Anti-Madridism with a Devastating Message about Mbappé

One of the names of the moment is Vinícius Jr. The green-yellow player returned with style and appeared as usual in another final: he is hatching his legend as a player of big games. Adding one more goal and one more assist to his overall tally, the '7' Meringue was chosen as the best player of the final.

The press conference he held after the game was full of questions about his future and what awaits Real Madrid after this international title. But he also had to answer some questions about teammates such as Jude Bellingham, who seemed to have some physical problems, or Kylian Mbappé.

Since he put on the white jersey, the criticism that he has received  has been due to his competitive performance, which was far below what everyone expected. But that dynamic seems to have changed radically: not in vain did the '9' of Real Madrid also leave the Lusail stadium with a goal and an assist under his belt.

Vinícius Jr., like other team's players have done throughout this season, hasn't hesitated to defend his teammate: "I'm a big Kylian Mbappé fan." This statement about the French attacker is much more important than it may seem, since having the support of 'The Best' is not usually easy.

Always by your side

The Real Madrid star also confessed that "I have sent him many messages telling him to sign for Real Madrid because I always dreamed of playing with him." Vinícius reveals that he never stopped believing in the possibilities of a triumphant Mbappé at Santiago Bernabéu, something he is achieving: in just four months he has won two international titles.

The connection between Vinícius and Kylian Mbappé is confirmed, even more so, after that press conference at the Lusail stadium. The '7' of Real Madrid doesn't hesitate to point out that his teammate "is a great player", something that he is showing more and more often on the field.

It's not just São Gonçalo who seems predisposed to play 'for' Mbappé. The clearest example is the assist he gave to the Bondy striker for the first goal of the final: he could have shot on goal and scored a great goal. But he chose to give up that moment of glory to his teammate, who was much more in need of good feelings.

Little by little, Kylian Mbappé is entering the dynamics of Santiago Bernabéu locker room at all levels. In addition to Carlo Ancelotti, the Bondy striker's greatest supporter is Vinícius, who acts as an authoritative voice. It is not for nothing that he is 'The Best' and the leader of the white team.
