Real Madrid winger Vinicius Jr has received massive praise for his performance in the Copa del Rey final clash against Osasuna.

See some of the comments on the Brazilian below

Dani Carvajal said: “He’s like a plane. He never stops dribbling and sprinting for the full 90 minutes.

“Perhaps clashing with the opposition is something he needs to look at and try to avoid because when he focuses on his football, there is nobody better.”

Toni Kroos said: “If you have a player like him, you have to try and utilise his pace.

“I thought he was incredible in the opening 30 minutes, he really put us on the front foot.”

Real Madrid president Florentino Perez also said:

“He’s the best in his position in the world. Every time he gets the ball, everyone stops to see what he’s going to do. It really is difficult to stop him and generally, the guys who have to mark him foul him a lot.

“He complains and he gets carded, so I don’t understand that. We have to defend the players who put on a show, who bring joy to football.”
