Last night, Vinicius Jr. once again demonstrated why he is regarded as one of football's top players, helping Real Madrid secure a 2-1 victory over Bayern Munich and securing a spot in the UEFA Champions League final.

The Brazilian ace was the standout performer as Los Blancos staged a comeback from a goal down to eliminate Thomas Tuchel’s side, earning yet another Man of the Match accolade.

Alejandro Garnacho comments on Vinicius’ social media post

Following the match, Manchester United winger Alejandro Garnacho took to social media to express his admiration for Vinicius Jr.

Reacting to a post by the Real Madrid attacker, the Manchester United starlet commented, calling the Brazilian the best in the world.

“Best player in the world,” wrote Garnacho.

Ballon d’Or Incoming?

Throughout the season, Vinicius Jr. has consistently stepped up for Real Madrid with crucial performances.

The winger has now amassed 21 goals and 11 assists across all competitions, despite missing around two months of action due to injuries.

With the La Liga title secured, along with the Spanish Super Cup, Vinicius Jr. could now claim another Champions League winners’ medal.

His standout displays in both legs of the semi-finals highlight his quality. Therefore, it would not be unreasonable to suggest that the 23-year-old is a strong contender to win the Ballon d’Or this year.
