Kylian Mbappe and Vinicius Jr play similar roles, and are both suited to playing on the left side of attack.

Carlo Ancelotti has however had to deploy Mbappe in the centre, while Vinicius remains on the right.

Karim Benzema has weighed in on the Mbappe vs Vinicius debate, and has said Vinicius is better than Mbappe in that position.

“I don’t think Vinicius will move from the left,” Benzema stated.

“He is the best in the world right now.”

When asked about Mbappe, Benzema was clear about his position on Vinicius, as he said: “Mbappe has to get it into his head that he is now a 9 and forget about the left,.

“They have brought him to score goals, only.”
