Jamie Carragher and other experts believe that Real Madrid already had the best player in the world in Vinicius Jr, relegating Mbappé to the background despite his good performances.
After Real Madrid’s spectacular comeback against Borussia Dortmund (5-2), with a hat-trick from Vinicius Jr, several observers believe that the Madrid club already had the best player in its ranks. On CBS’s Champions League Today, Jamie Carragher made a powerful remark: “Real Madrid thought they had signed the best player in the world (Mbappé) when they already had the best player in the world (Vinicius).” This statement relegates Kylian Mbappé to the background, despite his honorable performances with 8 goals in 13 appearances this season.

For Carragher, as well as for Thierry Henry, Vinicius’ impressive season, marked by his performance against Borussia and his probable Ballon d’Or victory, exceeds expectations around Mbappé. “Vinicius is the best striker in the world today”underlines Henry, while also saluting the merit of Rodri for his role with Manchester City. At Real, Vinicius took charge, with Josep Pedrerol of El Chiringuito stating that “the only leader here is Vinicius, he does what he wants on the pitch.”
