Kylian Mbappé defended his Brazilian team-mate Vinícius Junior after the Real Madrid forward was booed as he was substituted against Leipzig in the Champions League. “Vini is fine. If he is sad, it’s because he wants to contribute a lot to the team and the supporters,” Mbappé told Movistar+.
The Frenchman, who scored a goal and provided an assist in Real Madrid’s 4-1 victory, urged Vinícius to remain proud of his abilities and stay calm. The Brazilian winger did not make a decisive contribution in the match and still has three La Liga suspension matches to serve.
Mbappé’s support came after Real Madrid’s 4-1 win over Leipzig on 21 October. Vinícius had been kept in Madrid’s starting line-up despite the competition for places, according to Mourinho, on the same day.
