Real Madrid forward Vinicius Junior is beginning to receive acclaim as perhaps the best player in the world currently. At any rate, he might be the most difficult to stop, with few defenders able to live with him.
However following Real Madrid’s 2-0 victory over Chelsea in the Champions League, where Vinicius picked up two more assists, he was asked in the mix zone who the defender he found most difficult to go against was.
“It has to be Araujo, who has defended me best. He is very good and very strong, that’s why he plays for Barca,” Vinicius commented with a laugh, as carried by Sport.
The pair have done battle on a number of occasions, with Vinicius winning the latest round in Real Madrid’s 4-0 win at Camp Nou. However before that, the Blaugrana had put three wins on the bounce together.
The common denonimator was Araujo, who since he had moved to right-back during El Clasico fixtures had a perfect record against Real Madrid. With Vinicius finally getting the better of Araujo. It looks as if the two could define their teams’ chances for many of the coming Clasicos.

Karim Benzema ties Erling Haaland for the most goals scored among players from Europe's top five leagues since the World Cup break 🤯 They're inevitable 😤

Obviously.. Araujo is not just keeping VINI but just doing his work carefully.. I wish Madrid still have C Ronaldo so that Ronald Araujo would pocket him.. he is just a master class defender. Born to defend

Marco Asensio came in at the 71st minute and scored three minutes later 😮🔥

to be honest, Aroujo is the hardest player Vini ever faced. he's not just a problem for vini, but for Madrid entirely. because if he pocket vini, then Madrid is nothing offensively. Aroujo is too good. I can say one of the best in the world.💯

after giving one another thought moment they've come to let their sensible minded fans know what they both really been through with each other, and leave the senseless fans who only watch the game to see players running around without them taking in any good memories from the game only to talk nonsense all through

God will bless you. Vini is also our main problem when we come up against you guys recently. When he performs we are dead because Benzema will reap the benefits. A team of Vini and Dembele on both wings is a nightmare for any team. Sometimes I wish football plays the top 5 leagues best 11 in a league system single leg 4 games each team to play for a small trophy. It will be interesting to watch

and araujo said vini is the toughest he's faced, so what's ur point?
It’s called sportsmanship,…some people don’t understand that word. They don’t know when to troll or when to just nod in agreement with a smile 😊 on the face and enjoy the moment of love we all have for all this players and football…. That’s why I don’t comment all the time. Check my likes and you’ll understand me better.

that's why Barca always failed to compete with other team in the world, your useless araujo only performed against Madrid.
