Kylian Mbappe finally breaks silence after Vinicius Junior Ballon d’Or snub

Real Madrid superstar Kylian Mbappe has finally broken his silence on the Ballon d'Or controversy, throwing his support behind teammate Vinícius Jr.

Vinícius had a tough night on Monday after being overlooked for the top prize, which surprisingly went to Manchester City's Rodri.

Real Madrid were furious about the decision, subsequently deciding to boycott the ceremony in Paris.

Many teammates, including Brazil stars and supporters of Los Blancos, rallied around Vinícius on social media.

However, Mbappe's silence had raised eyebrows, sparking rumors he didn't back Vinícius for the award, as he would also consider himself a potential Ballon d'Or winner, but the French forward has now cleared the air.

On Tuesday, the France captain commented on Vinícius' Instagram post with three simple yet powerful white hearts.

Mbappe is Real Madrid's leading scorer with 8 goals in 14 appearances this season.
