Vinicius Jr has always said who his idol is, and it may surprise you.

Real Madrid faced Manchester City in the semifinals of the UEFA Champions League, and how could it be otherwise, Vinicius Jr is a trend on social networks among Real Madrid and Manchester City fans, however, he is not only a trend for what he did in the game, if for nothing else.

It turns out that an interview with Vinicius Jr carried out a few months ago has gone viral again today on social networks, as it is about an endless debate that generates a lot of interest: Who is the best footballer in the world? The debate is interesting and Vinicius's response surprised more than one.

Vinicius Jr, who is one of the best players in the world at the moment, commented: "Neymar 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 does things like no one else."

Is Vinicius world class?

The reality is that this question will always be subject to subjectivity, therefore for many fans Vinicius Jr is the best in the world, and for others he is not. The only reality is that Vinicius Jr's current form easily places him in the top 5 players in the world.
