In an interview with Marca, Adebayor said: “I love Mbappé. I am very close to the family, but what Vinicius is doing now is simply incredible. Jude Bellingham did it for several months, but now Vinicius.”
He continued, “If you ask me today I would tell you that I am going with Vinicius, but this today, tomorrow everything can change.
“Obviously, if you see how Real Madrid is playing now, because of what they have been through and what they have learned from it, he is the big favorite.
“His mentality of never giving up regardless of the situation, continuing to fight for the result, that’s what he’s been doing for several years.”
Despite PSG’s semi-final exit, Mbappe has still had a prolific season with 44 goals and 10 assists in all competitions.
