‘Among the best in the world’ – Vinícius Jr. heaps praise on Barcelona star | OneFootball

Real Madrid star Vinícius Jr. has ths week moved to make clear his appreciation for the talents of Barcelona standout Raphinha.

This comes with the two attackers fresh off linking up with the Brazilian national team squad.

Barcelona wide-man Raphinha is for his part in the midst of another thoroughly productive stretch of individual form at present.

Across his last three appearances in Blaugrana colours, the former Leeds United man directly contributed to a remarkable seven goals.

Such exploits have become almost commonplace at this point, for a player now considered one of the very best in world football in his role.

And as alluded to above, fully in agreement with such an assessment of Raphinha’s talents is a close rival in Spain, in the form of Vinícius.

Drawn on his compatriot’s name during an exchange with the media this week, Real Madrid standout Vinícius assured:

“Raphinha has been among the best 2/3 players in the world recently, if not the best. He’s doing excellent.”
