Vinicius Jr 'Knows Rivals Fear Him 1v1' And He Could Be Football's Most Confident Player

'Los Blancos' take on Chelsea in the first leg of their Champions League semi-final this evening and Vinicius comes into it in good form.

The Brazilian scored twice in a 3-1 win over Liverpool earlier this month and he's likely to start alongside Karim Benzema and Marco Asensio.

An interview earlier this year also saw the youngster, albeit accidentally, put himself on the same level as Brazil superstar Neymar.

Madrid reaching the semi-finals comes after they barely scraped through their group consisting of themselves, Borussia Monchengladbach, Shakhtar Donetsk and Inter Milan.

They eventually came top but after a humiliating 3-2 loss to Shakhtar in their opening game.

We could have done better in the Group Stage as we made mistakes in some of the games that we shouldn't have, like losing at home to Shakhtar, but the biggest club in the world always instils fear in the opposition.

"Every side we come up against always trains harder and prepares more to play against Real Madrid.

"This jersey counts for a lot, the players know that and we always look to give everything so Real Madrid can be where they belong."

Waiting in the final next month will be one of Manchester City or Paris Saint-Germain, who square off on Wednesday evening.
