Real Madrid star winger, Vinicius Jr., has revealed the five sports figures he looks up to the most.
The Brazilian forward, who joined Los Blancos from Flamengo in 2018, has become a standout performer for both club and country.
In a recent interview with GQ Spain, as cited by Madrid Zone, the 25-year-old named Cristiano Ronaldo, Neymar, LeBron James, Ronaldinho, and Ronaldo Nazário as his biggest inspirations.
“My idols are Cristiano Ronaldo, LeBron James, and our Brazilian legends — Ronaldo, Ronaldinho, and Neymar,” Vinicius said.
Reflecting on his journey, he added, “Playing for the biggest club in the world and the Brazil National Team still feels like a dream.”Vinicius narrowly missed out on the Ballon d’Or last season, finishing second behind Manchester City midfielder Rodri.
