Kylian Mbappé reaffirmed his support for his Real Madrid teammate Vinícius Júnior by declaring himself to be “always on your boat” after Saturday’s 3–1 victory over Villarreal.
After a campaign thus far dominated by Mbappé, Vinícius was the standout figure at the Santiago Bernabéu as Madrid eased to all three points, scoring twice and getting Santiago Mouriño sent off. The Brazilian’s second of the evening came from 12 yards after Mbappé unexpectedly handed over penalty-taking duties for the first time this season.
