Scorer against Espanyol Barcelona this Saturday during the 6th day of La Liga, Vinicius celebrated like Kylian Mbappé in front of the Real Madrid supporters, before being joined by his teammate.
Play it like Kylian. Substitute at kick-off of the match between Real Madrid and Espanyol Barcelona (4-1), Vinicius Jr was decisive from the moment he came on. While the Madrilenians were leading 2-1 thanks to Rodrygo, the number 7 of the “Merengue” made the break three minutes later. Launched in the right tempo by Kylian Mbappé, the Brazilian perfectly crossed his left-footed shot to deceive Joan Garcia.
