(Top) "Real Madrid's Vinicius Jr. is now one of the best players in the world", says Ancelotti

Real Madrid winger Vinicius Jr. is one of the best players in the world at the moment, manager Carlo Ancelotti said, adding that their performances are so dependent on the Brazilian's form this season is not a concern.
The 22 -year-old was a key figure in helping Real Madrid win the La Liga and Champions League double last season and is expected to boost morale in their Copa del Rey semi-final first-leg win over bitter rivals Barcelona.
In Spain on Wednesday morning, much was said about how " Madrid " turned things around. But it's not " Madrid " it's Vinicius.
No real improvement for the first 20 minutes. Liverpool is still attacking, Real Madrid has not played yet. Vinicius' goal changed everything. It woke up the European champions, reminded them they were in a game, and it was one of those embarrassing ones they loved.
Vinicius more decisive than Mbappe
Vinicius has scored five goals in the last four games between Liverpool and Real Madrid. With those Champions League and Club World Cup goals, it's fair to say he's been more decisive than Mbappe over the past 10 months.
At an international level, it's still a very different story. The Frenchman has dominated the World Cup alongside Lionel Messi , while Vinicius has barely registered. Part of the blame should lie with Tite, who wanted to build his team around other players. Vinicius Jr. must be hoping that Carlo Ancelotti will take over the Brazil national team sooner rather than later.
