When Real Madrid brought in Kylian Mbappé for the already very well-functioning Real attack that had taken the biggest titles, there were many who questioned how Ancelotti would create chemistry between Vini Jr., Rodrygo, Jude Bellingham and the French superstar. After Tuesday’s Champions League defeat to Arsenal, a former sporting director at Real believed that internal competition contributed to losses at the Emirates.
Martin Ødegaard smiled Declan Rice led Arsenal to a 3-0 victory in the first semi-final. This is a game Vinicius and Mbappé will be involved in deciding, but the two Ballon d’Or candidates produced surprisingly little. Former Real Madrid player and sporting director, Predrag Mijatovic, believed the competition between the two megastars helped Arsenal to victory.

-Since Mbappé’s arrival, Vinicius has been a little afraid to show who is the best. The goal seems to be to convince Real fans of who is the best. And that has led to him not performing as expected this season. It has been very noticeable,” Mijatovic said after the Champions League match, according to Bild.
