Vinícius Jr. vs. Mbappé: Who Shines Brighter for Real Madrid?
No one can doubt the depth of Real Madrid’s roster—it’s undoubtedly a super team, with Vinícius Jr. and Kylian Mbappé as two of its standout stars. Both players are currently commanding attention with their offensive performances.
Who performs better for Real Madrid?
As of now, Vinícius Jr. is the top scorer in the Champions League. The Brazilian has scored seven goals, four more than the Frenchman, who went four consecutive matches in the competition without finding the net. However, the scenario shifts when it comes to LaLiga.
In LaLiga, it’s Kylian Mbappé who has taken the spotlight with 12 goals, four more than his teammate. However, Vinícius Jr. holds an edge in playmaking, with seven assists compared to Mbappé’s two in the league.
Overall, Mbappé has 19 goals across all competitions, slightly ahead of Vinícius Jr.’s 17. The gap between them isn’t significant, and while Real Madrid has little to worry about, it’s their opponents who should be concerned.
Robert Lewandowski leads the race for "El Pichichi"
Barcelona’s Robert Lewandowski currently leads the LaLiga scoring chart, with four more goals than Mbappé. The Frenchman will need to step up if he hopes to close the gap and secure his first "Pichichi" award—an honor Vinícius Jr. has yet to achieve in his career.
