Hours before the semifinal against Man City, Vinicius chooses the best player in the world and it's not Messi nor Haaland

The world of football is focused on a single match, Real Madrid vs. Manchester City, a match that corresponds to the semifinal of the UEFA Champions League, at the Etihad Stadium, home in England of the team led by Josep Guardiola.

There's no doubt that Vinícius Jr is one of the best players in the world, and now, one old interview in "Diario Marca" has gone viral. Vinicius surprised the whole world when he confessed which are his favorite players, currently. His answers did not go unnoticed.

Of course, Vinícius Jr's confession did not leave anyone indifferent: "Neymar Jr is my idol. On the field I try to imitate many things. He always sends me videos of his plays and tells me: 'do it the same, youth'. On the field he does things like no one", making it clear.

Which were his exact words?

This is what he said: "Ronaldinho? He is another of the players I look up to. I watch videos of him and I learn. Neymar and Ronaldinho are two of my great idols". Thus concluded the most viral interview, which was actually published in 2019, when he arrived at Real Madrid.
