Perhaps the Real Madrid and Real Sociedad match completely ended all the rumors about the differences between Kylian Mbappe and Vinicius Junior due to penalty kicks.
Vinicius had left a penalty kick for Mbappe in the last Real Betis match before the international break, but what happened in the Real Sociedad match on Saturday may make everyone certain of the strength of the relationship between them.
Real Madrid won a penalty kick in the 58th minute, and unlike the Betis match, Vinicius was the one who took the kick and succeeded in converting it into the net.
In the 75th minute, Real Madrid won another penalty kick, and this time Vinicius left it to Mbappe who scored it, announcing his third goal this season with the Merengue in La Liga.
Given what coach Carlo Ancelotti said previously about not deciding who takes penalty kicks and leaving it to the players, it seems clear the players’ policy in dealing with the matter.
Vinicius and Mbappe will take turns taking penalties, just as it happened, each player will take a penalty kick and then leave the next kick, whether in the same match or the next match, to his teammate.
If this indicates anything, it indicates that the relationship between the two is good and there is a good understanding between them, contrary to what is being said about the “jealousy” that is said to worry the management in one way or another.
