Real Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti praised the ‘extraordinary’ Vinicius Jr on Tuesday 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 press conference he was convinced that the 24-year-old Vinicius would win the Ballon d’Or award for the best player in the world on Monday.
