Ancelotti Lauds Vini Jr. For Hat-trick Against Dortmund, Says 'He'll Win The Ballon D'Or'
When Madrid were 0-2 down with 60 minutes played, Rudiger cut the deficit with a towering header on 60', before Vini Jr. made it 2-2 just two minutes later. With 83 minutes gone, Lucas Vazquez completed the turnaround before Vini Jr. treated the crowd to a wonderful individual moment to make it 4-2. The Brazilian wasn't done yet though, capping off a sublime display by completing his hat-trick with another moment of magic in injury time.
"It's unusual to see a player have a second half quite like that. It's strange to see now, or in the past. He brought energy, intensity, character... It was an extraordinary display. He gets jeered when we go to other stadiums because he can make the difference. He's respected in this country. He's helping reduce the racism issue, he's highly respected," Ancelotti said in post-match presser.
