Real Madrid’s Vinicius Jr and Barcelona’s Gavi, got the media attention ahead of the El Clasico game in midweek.

At the end, it was Vinicius who was on the winning side, and scored the opening goal for the Los Blancos.

Carlo Ancelotti has hailed the two young players, but claim Vinicius is leading the way.

He said in his press conference: “It was a match with a strong rivalry, just like all the Clásicos. There are always run-ins between players.

“In football terms, Vini Jr. is leading the way at Real Madrid and in football as a whole. Everyone at Real Madrid hopes he can continue like this because he’s doing some great things in football.”

Ancelotti has backed Vinicius to improve beyond what we are seeing at the moment.

He went further: “He’s more composed in front of goal and in one-on-one situations.

“He’s handled it well. In his case, we’ve only worked on specific individual drills to improve his finishing.

“There are no limits to what he can achieve. His physique is going to help him a lot. He’s got a very strong and powerful body. He’s not tired and he always trains very hard. For all footballers who make a difference nowadays, the target is continuity.”
