Part 5/8:
Interestingly, it has been observed that Mbappé's goal-scoring impact increases when Vinícius is absent. Statistical analysis reveals a stark contrast in goal tallies, with Mbappé scoring more when playing without Vinícius on the pitch. This trend suggests that when Júnior is present, the two tend to congest similar areas, thus limiting each other's scoring opportunities.
Mbappé’s newfound freedom when playing without Vinícius allows him to exploit space, creating more scoring chances, not only for himself but for those around him.
