Vinicius not scared of Messi
It's the week of El Clasico as we have Real Madrid and Barcelona facing each other twice in 4 days. They first face each other in the second leg of the Copa del Rey semi-final on Wednesday before meeting again on Saturday in a LaLiga match.
Vinicius Jr might have just joined Real Madrid but he is proving to be a Madrid legend already. More than his on-field performances, his statements off the field have made him a favourite among the Madridistas.
He recently wrote on his social media account: “Messi is incredible, he can do things that no other player can, but we are not scared of him. We are ready for all tests that are going to come to us, we know we have the best players in the world.”
