Real Madrid winger, Vinícius Júnior, has insisted he is “calm” amid intense speculation that he could win this year’s Ballon d’Or award.
Vinicius Jr was named Man of the Match as Los Blancos beat Bayern Munich 2-1 in midweek to qualify for the Champions League final.
The Brazil international has said he is focused on helping Real win the title for a record-extending 15th time.
“Everyone talks about the Ballon d’Or but I’m very calm. I want to win another Champions League with this team.
“I can do great things this season and then I have to go with Brazil [for the Copa América]. I always think about the teams first and then me.
“We were able to place the best team in the world in another final. We have 25 stars in the team, all of us have worked hard to achieve our aim which is to go to London [for the Champions League final] and to win LaLiga. We have won LaLiga, we are going to London,” Vinicius Jr said.
