Mbappe Can Win the Golden Boot Without Vinicius

Kylian Mbappe has a strong chance of winning the La Liga Golden Boot this season, even without Vinicius Junior beside him. The Frenchie striker is already among the top scorers after eight solid games and has shown he can score when playing alone on the left wing.

Real Madrid will be without Vinicius Junior for four matches after his red card against Villarreal last weekend. The Spanish football federation confirmed a four-match ban on the Brazilian right winger for violent conduct and for protesting to the referee after the dismissal involving Tajon Buchanan.

According to the federation, two matches are for the initial foul, and the other two matches are for attitude towards the match official. As a result, Vinicius will miss a game against Sevilla and any other games, including the El Clásico against Barcelona on 25th October, and matches against Racing Santander on November 1, and Valencia on November 7.

Real Madrid coach Jose Mourinho said the team must stay focused despite losing such an important player. He explained that Real Madrid has enough quality in attack and that other players must step up during this difficult period in the season.

Kylian Mbappe is expected to lead the attack with the help of Jude Bellingham in midfield and Arda Guler on the right side. Real Madrid has six wins from eight La Liga games this season and has scored nineteen goals, which shows they can still create chances without Vinicius.

Sevilla will try to take advantage of Vinicius’ absence by defending deep and attacking on the counter. However, Mbappe’s speed in the space behind the defence could be very dangerous for Sevilla.

Do you think Mbappe will score during Vinicius’ absence?
