Real Madrid’s star players, Kylian Mbappe, Vinicius Junior, and Rodrygo, decided to unwind on a luxurious 50-meter superyacht following their underwhelming performance in the La Liga opener against Real Mallorca.
The trio rented the yacht, which costs €15,000 (approximately £12,800 or $16,000) per day, after their team was held to a draw on Sunday.
In his much-anticipated La Liga debut, Mbappe failed to deliver the performance fans had hoped for. Real Madrid was held to a frustrating draw at Son Moix, with Mbappe unable to score.
Supporters were quick to criticize the French star’s lackluster display, which did not live up to the hype surrounding his recent blockbuster move to the club. Following the match, Real Madrid’s coach, Carlo Ancelotti, gave the players two days off to recuperate.
Mbappe took the opportunity to join his teammates Vinicius Junior and Rodrygo for some relaxation on a luxurious superyacht in Marbella. The impressive vessel, which spans 50 meters, is equipped with swimming pools and jacuzzis, providing a perfect setting for the players to unwind.
Real Madrid’s draw against Mallorca marks the first time in six seasons that the club has failed to win its opening La Liga game under Carlo Ancelotti.
After the match, Ancelotti acknowledged the team’s shortcomings, noting that it was “clear where the problem is.”
He pointed out the challenges in finding the right balance on the pitch, particularly with Mbappe, Vinicius, and Rodrygo all favoring the left side of the attack. Ancelotti emphasized that the team must work on integrating these top talents to ensure they perform at their best together.
Ancelotti is hopeful that the brief break will allow his players to return refreshed and ready to face their next challenge. Real Madrid will take on Real Valladolid at the Santiago Bernabeu on Sunday, where the team will be looking to secure its first victory of the season.
The yacht trip is a temporary respite for Mbappe, Vinicius Junior, and Rodrygo, who will soon need to refocus on the demanding season ahead. The pressure is on for the star-studded trio to deliver results and help Real Madrid reclaim their dominance in La Liga.
