BREAKING NEWS: coming from Fabrizio Romano, ” why won’t we be happy, having him in our team is a blessing, he’s always ready to play and be at his best and he’s done it again, for me he’s one of the best players in the world”. Carlo Ancelotti once again singled out one his star players for praise as Real Madrid sealed a 4-2 La Liga win at Osasuna.

Carlo Ancelotti once again commended Vinicius Junior as Real Madrid secured a 4-2 victory against Osasuna in La Liga. With this win, Los Blancos strengthen their lead in the title race, with Ancelotti eyeing a potential double in the UEFA Champions League this season. Vinicius played a pivotal role in the triumph with a brace in Pamplona, taking his tally to 12 league goals in the 2023/24 campaign.

Despite his impressive performance, Vinicius faced rough treatment from opposing defenders and received his fifth league booking of the season for dissent. Consequently, he will serve a one-game suspension, causing him to miss the upcoming home fixture against Athletic Club on March 31. However, Ancelotti expressed admiration for the Brazilian winger, emphasizing his decisive contributions on the field. Ancelotti praised Vinicius, stating, “He’s a decisive player in everything he contributes. He could have scored more goals, but he’s effective in everything.” Ancelotti also acknowledged the pressure Vinicius faces but lauded his character, describing him as a serious, humble, and intelligent individual.

Vinicius’ suspension means he will be absent from Real Madrid’s lineup until the Champions League quarter-final first leg against Manchester City on April 9. Despite the upcoming suspension, Vinicius has shown his prowess against Premier League champions in recent encounters, having scored two goals in his last four matches against them.
