For Jamie Carragher, Real Madrid did not need to recruit Kylian Mbappé since the Madrid club had in its ranks the best player in the world in the person of Vinicius.

Vinicius Junior made everyone agree. While the 2024 Ballon d’Or, which will be awarded next Monday, already seems promised to him, the Brazilian winger delivered a performance Tuesday evening in the Champions League worthy of the new status of best player in the world that awaits him.

Author of a hat-trick in thirty minutes during Real Madrid’s stunning victory over Borussia Dortmund (5-2), Vinicius dazzled with his class in this remake of the last C1 final. To the point of completely eclipsing the presence of Kylian Mbappé.

“Real Madrid thought they had recruited the best player in the world…”

Real Madrid thought they had recruited the best player in the world (with Mbappé, editor’s note) when they already had the best player in the world. Enjoy your Ballon d’Or, Vini”declared Jamie Carragher on CBS Sports after Vinicius’ demonstration.

Even Mbappé accepted it. The throne of Madrid and the football world belongs to Vinicius. The Brazilian will receive the Ballon d’Or on Monday », writes for his part Marca. Same story on the side of Relevo: “Vinicius is crowned one week from the Ballon d’Or and dispels all doubt: he is the star (…) Even if the signing of Mbappé threatened to overshadow him, everyone knows that the star of this team is Vinicius. »
