According to a Spanish outlet, the recent win over Espanyol—highlighted by a superb performance from Vinícius Júnior—has strengthened the idea that the team looks more balanced without the French striker. Internal statistics reportedly point to a notable difference in pressing intensity and defensive work rate.

The same source claims the Brazilian offers more off the ball and in creating space, whereas Mbappé remains more focused on offensive efficiency. This debate could heat up even further as El Clásico approaches.
