Vinicius Junior has an important future ahead of him.
Ronaldo Nazario is sure that his fellow countryman Vinicius Junior will realize his potential at Real Madrid despite the recent drop in form. The former Los Blancos striker explained that Vinicius could not establish himself in the team’s starting lineup due to competition in his position with more experienced players. “Vinicius had a lot of space at Real Madrid, but the competition is always very intense,” Ronaldo said. “You look at the squad, and you see that the coach has unlimited options. It is not easy to beat the competition, but he is a young boy, 20 years old and has a fascinating future ahead of him. I think he is on the right track.”
Ronaldo has placed Real Madrid and Barcelona among the favorites to win the Champions League this season despite their group stage struggles. “It’s too early to name a favorite, but I would say that the favorites are Bayern Munich, Real Madrid and Barcelona,” added Ronaldo. “And also Manchester City and Paris Saint-Germain, who have an excellent team and have Neymar.”
