Are Kylian Mbappe and Vinicius Junior Facing Challenges Playing Together for Real Madrid?

Kylian Mbappe, who excelled at Paris Saint-Germain with 256 goals and 108 assists in 308 appearances, predominantly thrived in a left-forward role. However, since joining Real Madrid, the French star has been deployed as a central striker due to Vinicius Junior’s established position on the left flank.

Vinicius, a cornerstone of Los Blancos’ attack, has consistently delivered impressive performances in the left-forward role. This season alone, the Brazilian has tallied 12 goals and 8 assists in 18 appearances, making it unlikely that he will relinquish his spot.

Despite their individual brilliance, Real Madrid has experienced inconsistency this season, suffering five defeats in their last 11 games. For the team to regain its form, manager Carlo Ancelotti must find a way to maximize the partnership between Mbappe and Vinicius on the field.
