Vinicius Jr Went Full 'FIFA Street' To Embarrass Nahuel Molina During Argentina vs Brazil

Vinicius Jr Went Full 'FIFA Street' To Embarrass Nahuel Molina During Argentina vs Brazil

Stop that.

Vinicius Jr produced the most outrageous skill of 2021 during Argentina vs Brazil - a rainbow flick to leave Nahuel Molina in the dust.

The Real Madrid winger is a man possessed this season and is delivering on his potential week in week out.

It was evident in the early hours of Wednesday morning as bitter rivals Argentina and Brazil played out a 0-0 draw to see both sides qualify for Qatar 2022.

Desperate to bring some flair to the game, Vinicius dragged the ball wide before flicking it over Molina in one seamless move. We've broken the replay button on this.


Vinicius then lays the ball off to Lucas Paqueta who didn't manage to find the target. If he had, we'd have seen an all-time great assist.

Neymar missed the game through injury and it was up to Vinicius to provide that spark in attack.

The 21-year-old didn't disappoint and fans on social media were in awe at his confidence.

One commented: "Only a few players could do this. He was doing this since his early days. People discredited him for his lack of end product but that was only going to improve at his young age. He's going to be unstoppable. Just wait. This flair is something that you can't simply teach."

A second added: "Ronaldinho would be proud of that one."

While another said: "This guy has really grown and improved, happy to see."

Could it be that Vinicius only embarrassed Molina after being embarrassed himself however?

Just before half-time, Angel Di Maria had the audacity to pull off a nutmeg on Vinicius that got the Estadio San Juan del Bicentenario crowd on their feet.

Sometimes you need to get that little bit of revenge.

Vinicius has scored nine goals and registered seven assists in 16 appearances for 'Los Blancos' this campaign after an inconsistent few years.

He's developing into a world class winger and is one of few attackers to link up with Karim Benzema to the best of his ability.

The former Flamengo man's deal at the Santiago Bernabeu doesn't run out until 2025 but the club are ready to act.

According to ABC Spain, Madrid are keen to offer him a new deal with a whopping £940 million release clause, the biggest in world football.
