After Vinícius Jr's victory at the FIFA The Best awards, Kylian Mbappé decided to send him a nice message.
Two months after his failure to win the Ballon d'Or, Vinícius Jr regained his smile on Tuesday evening in Doha at the FIFA Awards ceremony. The Brazilian international was elected the best player in the world, ahead of Ballon d'Or winner Rodri and Jude Bellingham.
Author of a quality 2024 year crowned with victories in La Liga, the Champions League, the Spanish Super Cup, and the European Super Cup, Vinícius Jr seems to have checked almost all the boxes. He carried Real Madrid last season with his goals, assists, and overall gameplay.
Clearly, he was preferred to Rodri, the 2024 Ballon d'Or winner.
Mbappé Congratulated Vinícius Jr on His Trophy
After the FIFA The Best ceremony, which crowned Vinícius Jr the best player in the world, the Brazilian international received congratulations from everywhere. Among the teammates who congratulated the former Flamengo player is Kylian Mbappé, Real Madrid's new star.
The French international, who shares the attack with Vinícius Jr, sent him a nice message: "Well-deserved, brother," the former Parisian said to Vini, according to 90min.
Kylian Mbappé and Vinícius Jr are learning to play together. Since Mbappé's arrival at Real Madrid this summer, the two stars have shared the leadership of the Madrid attack and will be expected again tonight against Pachuca in the FIFA Club World Cup final.
