Fans have spotted Kylian Mbappe’s reaction to Vinicius Junior scoring for Real Madrid in their 4-0 win over Osasuna on Saturday.
Fans noticed Kylian Mbappé’s reaction when Vinícius Júnior scored for Real Madrid in their 4-0 victory over Osasuna on Saturday. Carlo Ancelotti’s side bounced back in style after a disappointing 3-1 midweek loss to AC Milan in the Champions League.
Heading into the match nine points behind La Liga leaders Barcelona, Real Madrid temporarily closed the gap, with Barcelona set to play the following day. However, the win was overshadowed by a potential injury to Eder Militão, who was stretchered off with a suspected knee issue. Reports from Spanish outlet *Relevo* suggest that the Brazilian defender may have suffered another ACL injury, having only recently recovered from a similar injury to his other knee in August 2023.
On the field, all attention was on Vinícius, who continues to push for next year’s Ballon d’Or after narrowly missing out this year to Rodri. The Brazilian forward netted a brilliant hat-trick, including a tap-in from close range, with Mbappé behind him as the ball crossed the line.
What caught the eye of fans, though, was Mbappé’s subdued reaction. While Vinícius celebrated his third goal, Mbappé appeared less enthusiastic, simply watching before casually walking toward his teammates. Some fans interpreted this moment in different ways, though it’s worth noting that the match was already well in hand at that point, and Mbappé did later join the celebrations.
One fan commented, “Mbappé hates him 100 percent.” Another wrote, “He couldn’t even pretend to be happy, lol.” However, a third person defended Mbappé, saying, “So annoying. They did the same with Ronaldo when he wouldn’t ‘celebrate.’ As long as we win, I don’t care about how close they are.”
Real Madrid’s next La Liga match will be on November 24, when they face Leganés after the international break.
