Champions League: Real Madrid manager, Ancelotti names most decisive player in world football

Real Madrid manager, Carlo Ancelotti, has named forward Vinicius Jr. as the ‘most decisive player in world football.’

Ancelotti spoke after Real Madrid defeated Liverpool 5-2 in the Champions League round of 16 first-leg encounter at Anfield on Tuesday.

Goals from Vinicius, Karim Benzema and Eder Militao gave Real Madrid a first-leg advantage ahead of the second-leg next week.

“Today, in my personal opinion, he [Vinicius] is the most decisive player in world football,” Ancelotti said at his post-match press conference.

“For his continuity, he doesn’t stop, dribbles, assists, or goals. Now he is the most decisive. Hopefully, he can continue like this.”
