The open-door training session at Valdebebas created a festive and magical atmosphere on New Year's Eve morning, as Real Madrid bid farewell to the year in front of 6,000 enthusiastic fans. The event delighted both young and old, with the Real Madrid players getting closer to their supporters than ever, sparking smiles all around.

One of the highlights of the day was a casual interview on the pitch between Kylian Mbappé and Vinicius Jr., hosted by the club’s television channel at the Alfredo Di Stéfano Stadium. The dynamic duo, who have been playing together for four and a half months, demonstrated their strong chemistry. "What I admire most about Vini is his humility, no doubt," Mbappé shared. "Everyone knows about his skill and the quality he shows every three days. This year, he’s won many team and individual honors, but his humility stands out the most. He gets along with everyone in the dressing room, and I really appreciate that."

Vinicius was equally complimentary, saying, "Kylian is not only an incredible player but also a great person. Playing with him is easy, and he’s going to score a lot of goals for Madridistas. This is just the beginning." The pair, who have netted 27 goals between them since the European Super Cup on August 15, expressed their ambition for the future. "We can score many more, and we will," said a confident Mbappé, enjoying his first New Year's Eve as a Madrid player. "I had to adapt to a new team, but the dressing room has been incredibly supportive, and I’m grateful for that."
