Vinicius Jr absolutely fooled not one but TWO Shakhtar Donetsk players with an outrageous piece of skill during Real Madrid's win on Wednesday.

Vinicius Jr starred as Real beat Shakhtar 2-1 at the Bernabeu to record their third straight win in Group F.

He scored his side's second goal in the 28th minute following Rodrygo's opener.

The Brazilian international slotted home after a brilliant team move. But it wasn't just his goal that got people online talking.

The 22-year-old produced a spectacular skill that bamboozled TWO Shakhtar players, justifying his five star skill rating on FIFA 23.

He perfectly executed a 'reverse elastico' to beat two players. After skipping past his markers, Vinicius Jr had a shot on goal, creating a chance out of nothing.

Needless to say, Vinicius Jr's skill sent social media wild.

One Twitter user wrote: "That reverse mid air elastico from Vinicius is going into history books. Mad mad skill."

A second tweeted: "Vinicius has just done the FIFA reverse elastic to two defenders. I faint."

A third added: "That Vinicius Jr. inward elastico has lifted me out of the chair."

Vinicius Jr had a game to remember as he completed five of his eight dribbles and won 11 of his 16 ground duels.

He had 82 touches, made one key pass and scored a goal in an excellent all-round performance.

Vinicius Jr is enjoying a superb season, having scored seven goals and provided four assists in all competitions.

Real boss Carlo Ancelotti praised Vinicius Jr's link-up play with Karim Benzema and Rodrygo.

"We are playing well, I'm satisfied with the win," he said after the game. "Vini, Benzema, and Rodrygo linked up well in front of the goal."

Vinicius Jr will look to improve his numbers for the season when his team resume their La Liga campaign against Getafe on Saturday.
