Real Madrid sustained winners on Sunday afternoon with excellent individual goals from Vinicius Junior and Kylian Mbappe in the first half. However, there are people who say that the lack of chemistry between the two reduces the ceiling of Real Madrid's performance.
Los Blancos perhaps has the most powerful forward line of every party in world football, with Mbappe and Vinicius often accompanied by Rodrygo Goes and Jude Bellingham on the sharpness of the field. Yet Real Madrid has rarely blown away the opposition this season. In the last month of action, in which Los Blancos played 11 times, only in games against Manchester City (twice) and Leganes in the Copa del Rey, they scored more than two goals.
According to Cadena Ser, one of the problems is the lack of relationship between Mbappe and Vinicius. Their relationship is' not as good as it seems', and it is not because of its best moment '. It is noted that both Mbappe and Vinicius seem to be the protagonist and are rarely looking for each other during attacks. Part of the reason is that they often enter the same areas, and therefore neither is at their best.
For those who want to strengthen the story presented, perhaps the most obvious example against Atletico Madrid last week, where Mbappe could possibly have ended their Champions League strop, if he could have provided a better pass for Vinicius, who had the goal that had the goal. It is also true that none of them has been to their very best lately, and former Real Madrid manager Fabio Capello recently noted that it was not functioning well in his eyes.
There is an equally valid argument that their form is partly the problems with Real Madrid confronted as a collective. The service to them has fallen in quality without Dani Ceballos and requires that they adjust their game. Carlo Ancelotti and Mbappe have also stated that the Frenchman now enjoys his role as number nine nowadays, and certainly in January, looked like he was at the top of his game.
