Kylian Mbappe Reveals The Vinicius Jr Trait He Admires Most
Kylian Mbappe has named the one Vinicius Jr trait that he admires most.
The two superstars have been leading Real Madrid's attacking department this season after Mbappe joined the club on a free transfer from Paris Saint-Germain during the summer transfer window. Since his arrival, he's managed to build strong chemistry with fellow attacker Vinicius Jr.
The Brazilian, meanwhile, has been one of Los Blancos' best players in recent seasons. He also recently won the FIFA The Best 2024 award.
While Vinicius' football skills are widely acknowledged, Mbappe has revealed that it's the Brazilian's humility that makes him special. Speaking to Real Madrid TV, he said:
Everyone knows the player, everyone sees the quality he has. He has won many team awards, and now individual awards too. But it's his humility. He's always with us, and with the people, and I really like that. I came to the team and had to adapt to the others, but the truth is that the locker room and the team have adopted me very well. They were always good to me and that's why I thank the whole team, Vini too, and all the people at the club.
