The 2025/26 season is about to start, and Real Madrid still hasn't found its attacking duo. This is because Vinícius Júnior, formerly of Flamengo , and Mbappé haven't worked well together yet, and have been criticized by the Spanish newspaper As.

According to a survey conducted by As, of the 6,240 minutes Real Madrid played this season, across 68 games, Vini Jr. and Mbappé were on the field for 3,439 minutes . In other words, 55% of the minutes were spent by the Flamengo youth product and the Frenchman.

VINI JR AND MBAPPÉ'S NUMBERS IN THE SEASON

Since Vini Jr. won the Best of the World Award, his goal average and appearances have declined. The Mais Querido youth product went from scoring every 129 minutes to 211 minutes and from participating every 88 minutes to 113 minutes. Mbappé, on the other hand, improved his performance and ended the season as La Liga's top scorer with 31 goals.

"Fitting them together is Xabi Alonso's biggest task. He surprised everyone by starting Vinicius on the right wing against PSG. An experiment that didn't last long. And that didn't please the player. Few, if any, doubt the individual quality of Vinicius and Mbappé. The talent they possess individually. But that's not the point. It's how they can work together. Ancelotti hasn't been able to match them. Starting August 4th, Xabi Alonso will try. They are two geniuses... who don't get along, " highlights the column by journalist Sérgio López.

FOCUS ON THE 2025/26 SEASON

Now, Vinícius Júnior and Mbappé will attempt to become key players for Xabi Alonso's Real Madrid . The Whites will have a full season under the Spanish coach and will be chasing the year's biggest titles.
