Often the target of criticism in recent months, Vinicius Junior gave himself a breath of fresh air tonight by scoring twice against Villarreal (3-1). While he owes his first goal to no one but himself, he can thank Kylian Mbappé for letting him take the penalty, even though the Frenchman had been designated as Xabi Alonso's designated penalty taker this season.

Vinicius Junior took charge and finally transformed it, much to Mbappé's delight. On his Instagram account, the 2018 world champion posted a photo alongside the Brazilian: "always with you on the boat ," he commented, as a way of letting him know that he would always be on his side.
