Alkorta Blames Ego Clash for Mbappe and Vinicius' Struggles at Real Madrid
Former Real Madrid defender Rafa Alkorta believes ego clashes have prevented Kylian Mbappe and Vinicius Junior from building a strong partnership on the pitch. Alkorta said the problem is more about personalities than tactics since Mbappe joined the club in 2024. He added that Mbappe's scoring record is unquestionable, but the two forwards have yet to fully click. He is optimistic that Jose Mourinho can get both players performing together. Alkorta also suggested that Mourinho could demand more from Vinicius if the Brazilian stays amid reports of ongoing contract-extension talks. Vinicius' current deal reportedly runs until 2027, while Real Madrid prepare for pre-season friendlies against Ferencvaros and Deportivo La Coruna.
