On the afternoon of this Sunday (24), the Real Madrid beat Leganés 3 to 0, in a match valid for the 14th round of La Liga. The match featured great emphasis on the duo Vini Jr and Mbappé, who once again showed their efficiency on the field. The Brazilian, revealed by Flamengo, gave assist for the first goal, scored by the French striker.
The decisive play took place in the 43rd minute of the first half. After a tackle by Camavinga at the edge of the area, Vinicius advanced at speed, dribbled past two opponents and delivered a precise pass to Mbappé, who didn't waste it.
CHANGE APPROVED TACTICS
Coach Carlo Ancelotti promoted a change in the players' positioning that proved to be effective. Unlike usual, Vini Jr played more centrally, while Mbappé occupied the left lane of the attack. The change resulted in greater dynamism and effectiveness, evidenced by the first goal, which was born from a recovery by the former Mengão in the middle and the Frenchman's infiltration from the side.
This new tactical arrangement could be a differentiator for Real Madrid in future games, as it allows it to further exploit the speed and skill of the two players.
VINICIUS' IMPRESSIVE NUMBERS
With assistance for Mbappé, Vinicius Júnior reached his eighth assist in the 2024/25 season, in addition to 12 goals scored. The player has 19 direct participations in goals in the 17 games played, reaching an impressive average of 1.1 contributions per match.
After After the victory, Mbappé was full of praise for his teammate: "Vini Jr and I understand each other very well. He is a great player and we are ready to win more trophies together", declared the Frenchman.
