  • Vinicius Junior showed off a brilliant piece of skill after he bamboozled two Shakhtar Donestk players with a brilliant move
  • Real Madrid defeated Shakhtar Donestk 2-0 at the Santiago Bernabeu on Wednesday evening in the UEFA Champions League
  • Goals from Rodrygo and his compatriot Vinicius Junior were enough to hand Los Merengues the three maximum point

Real Madrid winger Vinicius Junior has demonstrated he is one of the best in world football when it comes to the sweet art of dribbling.

The 22-year-old is absolutely electrifying with the ball at his feet, making it difficult for many defenders to stop him when he's in full force in recent times.

The Brazil international has also added goals and assists to his game since Carlo Ancelotti took to the helm last season, but his biggest weapons are still his skill moves and dribbles.

Rodrygo had put Real Madrid ahead in the 13th minute with an exquisite finish. Vinicius then made it 2-0 for the Los Blancos 15 minutes later after a brilliant one-touch move display involving Karim Benzema, Federico Valverde, and Rodrygo.

But shortly before registering his goal in the evening, Vinicius decided to transform into prime Ronaldinho and outwit two Shakhtar defenders on the edge of the penalty area.

After controlling the ball, the opposing players tried to double up on Vinicius, but the wide man was too quick and found his way between two defenders on his way in a matter of seconds and made it look so easy.

That brilliant piece of skills drew huge applause from the Bernabeu crowd. This is what they call 'Joga bonita'!

Sports Brief had earlier reported that Karim Benzema betrayed the trust of Real Madrid teammate Vinicius Junior, as Los Blancos dropped points for the first time this term.

Benzema, who was returning from an injury lay-off, had the opportunity to keep Real Madrid's 100 per cent start to the 2022-23 season intact.

The Frenchman however, who scored a staggering 44 goals in 46 matches across all competitions last season, missed from 12 yards as Madrid shared the spoils with 10-man Osasuna on Sunday, reports BBC.
