Rodrygo Hails Mbappé Connection After Champions League Win Over Marseille
Real Madrid forward Rodrygo has praised his partnership with Kylian Mbappé following their standout performance in yesterday’s UEFA Champions League victory over Marseille.
The Brazilian was instrumental in Madrid’s 3-1 win at the Santiago Bernabéu, linking up seamlessly with Mbappé, who scored twice and tormented the French side’s defense. Rodrygo highlighted how their understanding, built during training sessions, translated perfectly onto the pitch in a crucial European night.
“It’s a pleasure to play with Kylian. We have a great connection, and yesterday you could see how well we combine, even in tough Champions League games,” Rodrygo said after the match.
Under coach Xabi Alonso, Real Madrid’s attack is flourishing, with the Mbappé–Rodrygo partnership adding a new dimension to the team’s fluid offensive play. The duo’s chemistry, alongside Vinícius Júnior and Jude Bellingham, has made Los Blancos one of the most feared attacking forces in Europe.
The victory over Marseille keeps Real Madrid top of their group, and fans are already dreaming of another deep run in the Champions League, driven by the explosive connection between Rodrygo and Mbappé.
