Vinicius Junior's goal shows 'best in the world' potential - Carlo Ancelotti

Carlo Ancelotti praised Vinicius Junior's "extraordinary" late strike in Real Madrid's 2-1 comeback win over Sevilla on Sunday, admitting the Brazil star has what it takes "to be one of the best in the world."

The winger's 87th minute winner -- already his ninth goal in LaLiga this campaign -- came after Rafa Mir had opened the scoring for the visitors and Karim Benzema had equalised in a closely-fought first half at the Bernabeu.

The 21-year-old received the ball by the left touchline, controlling it with his chest and driving infield before unleashing an unstoppable, rising right-footed shot past goalkeeper Bono.
