"I believe Vinicius is close to winning Ballon d'Or," says Real Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti

Vinicius Junior won the Man of the Match award in both legs against Bayern
Real Madrid once again showed why they are the greatest club in history last night when they overcame a goal deficit to defeat Bayern Munich in the UEFA Champions League semifinal.
Extremely sub With two fast goals, Joselu turned the tide of the contest, but in reality, Real Madrid had been putting Manuel Neueur to the test the entire time. For a long while, more than one goal was inevitable, as Real Madrid’s aggressive edge came from Vinicius Junior.
According to GSFN, Ancelotti has made it clear that Vinicius Junior is the winner of this year’s Ballon d’Or. Ancelotti stated, “I believe Vinícius is close to winning the Ballon d’Or,” in his own words.
FotMob statistics show that Vinicius Junior had three shots on goal, created two chances, and completed seven successful dribbles. The Brazilian gave a flawless performance that may have been worthy of a goal. Though Vini, who is presently the top player in the world, didn’t receive the goal he deserved, he still put on an incredible display.

The Brazilian forward is a hero for big moments because he consistently rises to the occasion when it counts most. With Real Madrid, he is on pace to win the treble in what would be an incredible season for them.
