Vinicius, deeply affected after El Clásico: locker room heavyweights leave him K.O.

This season there has been a great controversy over who is the leader of Real Madrid's locker room in sports. Last season it was Vinícius Júnior, but with the arrival of Kylian Mbappé, a great doubt arose. The Brazilian did not want to give up that status, and Mbappé respected it, but without giving up that goal.

"After the Clásico, the heavyweights of the locker room point to Kylian Mbappé as the leader of Real Madrid's future," they claim from Relevo. This way, Vinícius Júnior would be one step below the Frenchman in that aspect. It remains to be seen how the Brazilian accepts this situation.

Most likely, at first, he won't like it at all. But when you have a forward who is capable of scoring 39 goals in his first season at Real Madrid... Everything is said, there are very few players who have such a beastly scoring ability without the need for great adaptation.

Vinícius's priority

That will be the key to see what happens with him. Real Madrid's number 7 is very happy at the white club and hopes to renew his contract this summer. There has been a lot of drama in recent months, but his goal is to succeed at Real Madrid and win as many titles as possible.

If Vinícius puts Real Madrid above everything, he will have no problem giving prominence to Kylian Mbappé. The French forward is one goal away from the Golden Boot and has proven that he appears in most important matches. It is normal for teammates to see him as the team's main star.

He doesn't give up

Despite everything, the Brazilian star wants to be the one from the 2021/2022, 2022/2023, and 2023/2024 seasons again. That is when he showed his best version and when he enjoyed soccer the most. For that reason, he hopes to reach that level again in the next season, with a new coach who brings out his best version.

The best is yet to come, Vinícius is only 24 years old and has many years of soccer at the elite level ahead of him. If he finally closes the renewal with Real Madrid, Madridists will be able to enjoy him for a long time.
