Santiago Canizares has questioned whether Kylian Mbappe and Vinicius Junior can play effectively together at Real Madrid, arguing that the pair’s limited defensive contribution is harming the team’s overall balance.
The former goalkeeper believes Real Madrid can accommodate one forward who offers little defensive support, but says fielding two players with similar limitations does not make sense for the team.
Canizares also put forward a specific solution to the problem.
Real Madrid’s latest La Liga fixture saw them beat Barcelona 2-1 at Camp Nou, reducing the gap to the Catalan side in the table to three points.
