Neither Vinicius nor Mbappe.. Ancelotti reveals the best player against Dortmund and Vinicius pr.ovokes Barcelona with this fie.ry statement
Real Madrid staged a dramatic comeback against Borussia Dortmund, winning 5-2 after overcoming a first-half deficit. This victory brings Real Madrid’s points total to six, placing them in tenth, while Dortmund remains in fifth with the same score.
According to Spanish newspaper “Defensa Central,” coach Carlo Ancelotti headed straight to the locker room after the match, where he first congratulated goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois, praising his crucial saves and calling him the best goalkeeper in the world.
Ancelotti also announced that Real Madrid has regained a key offensive player ahead of the Clasico against Barcelona, confirming that the Moroccan player is fully recovered. He expressed his admiration for Vinicius Junior in the locker room and at the post-match press conference, emphasizing his delight at having him on the team.
Real Madrid president Florentino Perez visited the locker room after the game to congratulate Vinicius, telling him, “I haven’t seen a player at this historic level at Real Madrid for years; you are undoubtedly the best in the world.” Perez was thrilled with Vinicius’s performance, as he scored a remarkable hat-trick that captured global attention.
Despite the historic victory, president Florentino Perez spoke with coach Carlo Ancelotti, suggesting that Lucas Vazquez be left out of Real Madrid’s squad for El Clasico. He proposed that Camavinga take over the right-back position to better counter the threat from Barcelona’s Brazilian winger, Rafinha.
Although Vazquez scored the third goal in the match, reports indicate he was a liability for Real Madrid against Borussia Dortmund.
In a surprising turn, Vinicius Junior declared after the match that he is ready to challenge Barcelona for the La Liga lead in the upcoming Clasico, stating, “I’m eagerly looking forward to facing Barcelona, and we will win in front of our fans at the Bernabéu.”
He promised Real Madrid fans a historic performance against Barcelona, vowing to help the team reclaim the top spot in La Liga. This statement provoked backlash from Barcelona fans, who felt Vinicius was dismissing their strong season under coach Hansi Flick.
