Kylian Mbappe reveals which Vinicius Junior trait he admires most as Real Madrid winger ends 2024 by scooping another prestigious individual award

Mbappe joined Real Madrid in the summer of 2024 as a free agent after the end of his contract with Paris Saint-Germain. While the Frenchman and Los Blancos struggled to find their feet at the start of the season, the 15-time European champions have slowly but surely been gaining traction in their performances.

During the difficult period at the start of the season, there had been multiple reports about animosity within the squad following Mbappe's signing. The Frenchman prefers playing in Vinicius' left-wing position, but the Brazilian was not going to cede his position to Mbappe. However, the Frenchman has now explained what he admires the most about the FIFA The Best award winner.

Speaking to Real Madrid TV, Mbappe said: "Everyone knows the player, everyone sees the quality he has.

"He has won many team awards, and now individual awards too. But it's his humility. He's always with us, and with the people, and I really like that.

"I came to the team and had to adapt to the others, but the truth is that the locker room and the team have adopted me very well. They were always good to me and that's why I thank the whole team, Vini too, and all the people at the club."

The Real Madrid duo have not let their competitive spirit affect their dynamic so far as Vinicius has been racking up awards while Mbappe continues to grow with Los Blancos. The Brazilian was awarded the EFE's award for the Best Ibero-American Player of 2024.
