Vinícius Jr., a Real Madrid player, expressed appreciation for a lesser-known member of Carlo Ancelotti’s squad on social media this evening.

Real, of course, returned to action recently, travelling to Son Moix to face RCD Mallorca in La Liga.

After all was said and done, Los Blancos emerged victorious, thanks to a moment of individual brilliance from Aurélien Tchouaméni.Following the match, it is not surprising that France international Tchouaméni, who was restored to his natural role in the middle of the park against Mallorca, received the most of the praise.

In the aftermath of the game, Vinícius Jr. expressed his admiration for Son Moix, one of Real’s top players.

The player in question? Ferland Mendy.

With his last start on Saturday evening, left-back Mendy proved himself Mr. Reliable once more, rarely putting a foot wrong throughout the 90 minutes.

Mendy has been an unsung star in Real Madrid’s successful season, frequently overshadowed by other players such as Jude Bellingham, Rodrygo, and Vinícius.

In turn, the transfer-linked defender will no likely be happy to learn that his performances were deservedly recognized by a headline member of the attacking ranks in Spain’s capital late on Saturday night.
