Everyone’s crazy about Vinicius Junior. And it couldn’t be otherwise, after the great performance in Real Madrid’s return against Borussia Dortmund in the Champions League. Jamie CarragherLiverpool legend and current commentator for Sky Sports UKhe expressed himself like this, also giving a little touch to Kylian Mbappe: “Real Madrid believed they had signed the best player in the world, Mbappé, when in reality the best player in the world already played at Real Madrid, and that is Vinicius.”
“It reminded me Pele“. A strong phrase, which will remain engraved in the memory of Vinicius jr.. It was uttered by Emilio Butragueño, a Real Madrid legend who was enraptured – like all the fans of the Blancos – by the performance of the Brazilian champion.
Yesterday’s performance served to certify that he was back permanently: from the match against Real Sociedad he scored seven goals and three assists (he participates in a goal every 74 minutes, the best average of his career). Now two very important appointments are arriving: the Classic on Saturday and then his first Ballon d’Or, an award that Pelé was never able to win and which will make him go down in the history of this sport.
