Competition on the pitch, competition in romance too—Mbappe's new girlfriend once rejected Vinicius's advances.

Mbappe's ideal role is on the left wing, and his preferred number is 7. Yet, Vinicius holds the primary left-wing position at Real Madrid and was the first to wear the number 7 shirt. Consequently, upon moving to Real Madrid, Mbappe was forced to adapt to a center forward role and opted for the French national team's number 10 jersey. While Mbappe may not have surpassed Vinicius entirely in football, in the realm of love, it is Mbappe who has emerged victorious.

The story unfolds as follows: recently, gossip blogger AQABABE revealed and confirmed that Real Madrid forward Mbappe is passionately dating Spanish actress Ester Expósito, sharing photos of the two kissing at a restaurant in Paris.

Following this, Spanish media outlet Daily Sport reported further, uncovering that Vinicius had previously interacted with Mbappe's new girlfriend, Expósito. In June 2022, Vinicius repeatedly liked Expósito's posts on social media and left comments with hearts and other hints of "affection." Since both Expósito and Vinicius reside in Madrid, numerous media outlets at the time speculated about a romantic link between them. However, Expósito posted "FAKE NEWS" on her social media, personally debunking this nonexistent rumor.

In response, fans joked and debated: in a rivalry between the turtle and the bear, a sensible person would still choose Mbappe, as he is considerably more handsome compared to Vinicius. For a 26-year young woman like Expósito, choosing Mbappe over Vinicius is entirely understandable—everyone appreciates beauty, and that's perfectly natural.
