Following Vinicius Junior’s spectacular performance at the Bernabeu as Real Madrid destroyed Girona, Carlo Ancelotti declared the Brazilian to be “the best in the world.”

Consequently, what happened?

Madrid’s vinicius and Bellingham masterclass tore up the Girona defence. Just before halftime, the explosive pair wow’d once more, combining to put Madrid ahead by two goals. Ancelotti showered his superstars with plaudits following the game.

WHAT ANCELOTTI SAID

“He’s the best in the world,” Ancelotti remarked sharply when asked about Vinicius’ performance.

“Bellingham, Rodrygo the third, Valverde, Camavinga, and Kroos are [the next best].”Real Madrid has always had some of the best players in the world in their lineup, and their traditions are still alive and well. Bellingham and Vinicius, two of the greatest players in the last season, have been instrumental in igniting Madrid’s championship push. Madrid is headed for yet another league championship after thrashing Girona.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

Real Madrid has always had some of the best players in the world in their lineup, and their traditions are still alive and well. Bellingham and Vinicius, two of the greatest players in the last season, have been instrumental in igniting Madrid’s championship push. Madrid is headed for yet another league championship after thrashing Girona.

FUTURE PLANS FOR REAL MADRID?

If Ancelotti is accurate and Real Madrid really does have the finest players in the world, then securing the league title and the Champions League will significantly validate his claims. Tuesday’s Round of 16 matchup between Los Blancos and RB Leipzig takes place in Germany.
