Mbappe ‘can do even more’ with Real Madrid, says Ballon d’Or favourite

Real Madrid forward Vinicius Jr has spoken of his “love” for new team-mate Kylian Mbappe’s style and belief that the France captain can score as many goals for the club as he did for former side Paris St-Germain.

PSG’s 256-goal all-time top scorer joined Madrid in July following the expiry of his contract with the reigning Ligue 1 champions, scoring on his debut in a 2-0 Uefa Super Cup win over Atalanta earlier this month.

“With the arrival of Mbappe, everyone says the team can become unstoppable,” Vinicius Jr told CNN. “But for now, we have to perform the best training sessions and try to understand each other as quickly as possible.”

“I love how he plays and the truth is that I’m very excited about what we can do during the season. He’s coming in after having scored so many goals, after winning so many titles.

“He’s arriving at the club he always dreamed to be at and where every player always dreamed to play. God willing, Mbappe will be able to score as many goals for us as he did in his previous team, as he does in the national team, and he can do even more with us.”

The 24-year-old spent time with two-time Ballon d’Or-winning Brazil legend Ronaldo this summer and also looks up to compatriot Marta, an icon of the national team who he calls “the greatest ever” to play women’s football.

“I have to talk about Marta… I have great affection for her because I believe she changed the sport and put women’s football on the level it deserves,” he said.

“Women’s football is…
