Alejandro Garnacho used to like Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo, but now he likes Vinicius Jr.

Alejandro Garnacho is known to be a big fan of Cristiano Ronaldo and has a lot of respect for Lionel Messi, who plays with him on the Argentina national team. Even though Garnacho likes two of the best players of all time, the winger for Manchester United has chosen a new choice and thinks Real Madrid’s Vinicius Jr. is the best player in the world. Vini has been very important for Real Madrid in the Champions League this season, and he will do even better against Bayern Munich in the semifinals. Last night, Vini wrote on Instagram about their win over Bayern. Garnacho commented below his post, calling Vini the “best player in the world.”

He watched the second game of Real Madrid vs. Bayern Munich in the Champions League semifinals last night with his son. During the game, Garnacho’s son wore a shirt with Vinicius Jr.’s name on it. The Manchester United player got his own signed Vini shirt last summer after a friendly in the US. Following the game, Garnacho and Vinicius posed for a picture together. The Argentine kid now seems to look up to the Brazilian winger from Real Madrid.

So many football fans have nice things to say about Vinicius’s play against Bayern Munich yesterday that many now think he is the favorite to win the Ballon d’Or this year. Thierry Henry, a giant in football, told him how great he was after last night’s game. Henry said, “It’s fair that people talk about Bellingham. Again, it’s okay for people to talk about Mbappé. Just one more time, Vinicius Junior. Vinicius Jr. needs to be credited. Don’t fall asleep with this guy. His desire for the ball was stronger than any other Real Madrid player at one point in the game.
