The Brazilian forward of Real Madrid, Vinicius Junior, expressed his happiness after a 2-0 victory against Chelsea in the quarterfinals of the Champions League, stating that "we played very well."
"We played very well, with pressure like last season," Vinicius said to Movistar+ after the match at the Santiago Bernabeu. This good moment of the Brazilian forward did not go unnoticed by former footballer José María Gutiérrez 'Guti'.
'Guti,' who played for Real Madrid and the Spanish National Team, highlighted the contribution of the 22-year-old attacker to the current Real Madrid team. He provided two assists in the victory against Chelsea in the Champions League.
"Why do they want Mbappé if we have Vinicius? He is the best player in the world. Right now, Vinicius Jr. is much better than Kylian Mbappé," also stated the panelist of the Spanish program 'El Chiringuito'.
He also pointed out a big difference between 'Vini' and the Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) star. "Vinicius doesn't need anyone to break the game, and I think right now, Mbappé does need players behind him to give him the balls because he alone is not capable," he said.
Vinicius' Numbers
In the 2022-2023 season, Vinicius Junior has played 45 games in all competitions. He has scored 21 goals and provided 10 assists. He is one of the most decisive players in European football.
