“Mbappe’s Reaction to Vinicius Jr’s Goal Has Fans Talking: ‘It Speaks Volumes'”
“Fans Spot Kylian Mbappe’s Reaction to Vinicius Jr’s Goal, and They Think It Speaks Volumes”
Vinicius netted a hat-trick as Real Madrid cruised to a 4-0 victory over Osasuna at the Bernabeu.
Fans noticed Kylian Mbappe’s reaction to Vinicius Junior scoring in Real Madrid’s dominant win on Saturday. After a tough 3-1 loss to AC Milan in the Champions League midweek, Carlo Ancelotti’s team bounced back impressively. The victory allowed Los Blancos to narrow the gap to La Liga leaders Barcelona, though the latter still had a game to play.
The match did have a downside, as Eder Militao was stretchered off with a suspected knee injury. Real Madrid fears the Brazilian defender may have suffered another ACL injury, similar to the one in his opposite knee back in August 2023.
On the field, though, the spotlight remained on Vinicius, who continued his Ballon d’Or quest with an impressive hat-trick. His third goal came from close range, with Mbappe standing behind him. Mbappe’s reaction seemed muted; he watched Vinicius celebrate and then walked over to his teammates. Some fans interpreted Mbappe’s reaction as indifference, while others defended him, noting that Real Madrid already had the win in hand.
One fan commented, “Mbappe hates him 100 per cent,” while another wrote, “He couldn’t even pretend to be happy lol.” Others defended Mbappe, comparing the situation to Cristiano Ronaldo’s past reactions, emphasizing that as long as the team wins, celebrations are secondary.
Real Madrid will return to La Liga action against Leganes on November 24, following the international break.
