Real Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti has praised the “extraordinary” Vinicius Junior after the Brazilian forward scored a second-half hat-trick to help them fight back from two goals down and thrash visitors Borussia Dortmund 5-2 in the Champions League.
Ancelotti told a news conference he was convinced that the 24-year-old Vinicius would win the Ballon d’Or award for the best player in the world.
“What I can say is that it’s rare to see a player who plays a second half like Vinicius did. And not because of the three goals but because of his character; he’s extraordinary,” Ancelotti said on Tuesday.
