Former France coach Raymond Domenech doesn’t believe Real Madrid stars Kylian Mbappe and Vinicius Junior are compatible.
Domenech says Mbappe will struggle to win the Ballon d’Or while he and Vinicius are in the same Real Madrid team.
On Manchester City midfielder Rodri winning the award ahead of the Brazilian, Domenech told Radio Sportiva: “Ballon d’Or to Rodri? It’s a good thing, I think. A hundred journalists voted for this player, not a Real Madrid player won. It’s a big thing for once.
