Ronaldinho: Real Madrid's Vinicius Junior Will Soon Be 'Among the Best'

Real Madrid's Vinicius Junior will soon be "among the best" players in the world, according to his fellow Brazilian Ronaldinho.

The 19-year-old is in his second season at the Santiago Bernabeu since moving to Real from Flamengo, also a former club of Ronaldinho's, for £38.7 million.

His fine performances last term, when he made 18 La Liga appearances, were one of few bright spots for Real in a poor campaign.

So far in 2019-20, Vinicius has a goal and an assist in five La Liga outings.

And former Barcelona star Ronaldinho is convinced he is on the way to becoming a world superstar, per EFE (h/t Marca): "[Vinicius] is already at one of the best clubs in the world.
