The Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti praised Vinicius Junior’s performance in the match of the Champions League Round 3 against Borussia Dortmund (5:2).
"It is rarely seen how a player performs like Vinicius did in the second half, not only scoring goals but also with extraordinary energy, intensity, and character. I think he will win the "Ballon d’Or" for what he did last year, helping us win the Champions League, not for today’s three goals, which will count towards the "Ballon d’Or" next year,” Ancelotti is quoted by AS.
Additionally, the Brazilian recorded a hat-trick after the "whites" lost the first half 0:2.
