‘The difference is clear now, his finishing was outstanding. His decision-making in the second half was outstanding,’ Hargreaves said of Vinicius. ‘He looked angry in the second half. I don’t know what Carlo (Ancelotti) said to him but if he plays like that he’s unstoppable.
‘We saw the clips, there were four or five players around him but they couldn’t even deal with him. If you want to do it, you have to do it together. I think with a player like Vinie you have to try to push him, to make him lose his balance. If he starts first, forget it. His play in the second half was unstoppable. Ballon d’Or winner.’
Madrid was 2-0 down at halftime in a rematch of last season’s final but rallied with three goals from Vinicius Junior — who also scored in the final in May. And one each from Antonio Rudiger and Lucas Vazquez.
