It is possible that Vinicius Jr. is often in the public eye due to the shenanigans he engaged in while playing and the horrors he encountered while playing. However, his football is a strong and clear voice that is seldom altered by any external factors.
Real Madrid’s prodigy has developed his game to an exceptional level throughout the course of his career, and he is today considered to be one of the finest wingers in the world of football, if not the best winger.
In point of fact, it would not be an exaggeration to assert that Vinicius is the leader of the next generation of players, given that he is already being discussed as one of the finest players on the whole globe.
The number one
Vinicius is now the most likely candidate to win the famous Ballon d’Or for the current season, as stated by sources from Rodra (with attribution to Madrid Xtra).
Vinicius is going to achieve the same thing that Karim Benzema did two years ago, which is to say that he hoisted the distinction for single-handedly pioneering so many of Real Madrid’s comebacks on their way to winning the Champions League.
Particularly noteworthy is the fact that he was the one who scored the goal that won the UCL final two years ago.
Kylian Mbappe, who was Vinicius’ most formidable rival for the title, was eliminated from the Champions League earlier this week in the semifinals, which meant that he was no longer in the running for the prize.
Vinicius’ most formidable adversary is most likely to be his own colleague Jude Bellingham, and the reward is almost probably going to come at Santiago Bernabeu on account of the fact that the league championship has already been secured and the UCL is just one step away.

A force like none other
In the match between Real Madrid and Bayern Munich that took place at the Allianz Arena, Vinicius scored both goals, which contributed to the team’s success in achieving a much-needed draw after the full 90 minutes of play.
He once again went wild for Los Blancos with a performance that received a perfect score, despite the fact that he did not get his name on the board last night.
After a total of ninety minutes, he managed to get three shots on target, complete an astounding seven dribbles, and make two crucial passes while under intense pressure.
During the current season, the teenager has contributed to the success of the men in white by scoring five goals and providing four assists in the Champions League. Additionally, he has scored 13 goals and offered five assists in La Liga.
A triumph in the finals of the UCL and a solid showing in the Copa America tournament held in the summer may be enough to complete the deal for the Brazilian player.
It should go without saying that the Ballon d’Or would be well-deserved.
