Champions League: Vinicius Junior Embarrasses Dortmund Defender With Insane Nutmeg, Video

• Vinicius Junior left a defender in his wake with an impressive dribble during the Champions League final vs Borussia Dortmund
• He scored the second goal after Dani Carvajal had put Real Madrid in the lead as Los Blancos sealed a record-extending 15th UCL crown
• Vini's strike against BVB is the second time he had scored in a Champions League final, following his match-winner against Liverpool in 2022

Vinicius Junior literally 'embarrassed' Julian Ryerson with an insane piece of sublime skill, nutmegging the Norwegian in the UEFA Champions League final on Saturday night.

The Brazilian forward, who has been widely tipped to win the 2024 Ballon d'Or, showed why he is considered to be one of the best footballers in the world.

Having experienced a subdued performance throughout the first half, Vini Jr. came alive in the second half, and it came as little surprise that his ascent in the game swung the tie in favour of Madrid.

Vinicius 'destroys' Dortmund defender

Receiving a pass on the left flank, the 23-year-old first flew past a Dortmund defender as if he did not exist and produced a picture-esque dribble shortly after.

With virtually nowhere to go and Ryerson closing down on him, the pacy winger somehow managed to go past the Dortmund defender with an incredible flick, which nutmegged the onrushing Norwegian.

As noted by Livescore, his stunning dribble led to the corner kick, which resulted in Dani Carvajal's opening goal.

Vini put an exclamation mark on the result with a goal in the dying embers of the game, helping Madrid secure their 15th UCL crown, per The Standard.
