Ronaldo Nazario is confident that his compatriot Vinicius Junior will manage to fulfil his potential at Real Madrid despite his recent drop in form.
The former Los Blancos striker explained that Vinicius has failed to establish himself in the team’s starting line-up due to competition in his position with more experienced players.
“[Vinicius] has had space at Real Madrid, but the competition is always very big,” Ronaldo said during a Banco Santander event.
“You look at the squad and [see that] the coach has unlimited options. Beating the competition is not easy, but he is a young boy, 20 years old and has an important future ahead of him.
“I think he is on the right track.”
Ronaldo went on to place Real Madrid and Barcelona among the favourites to win the Champions League this season despite their struggles in the group stage.
“It’s still early to name a favourite, but I would say that Bayern Munich, Real Madrid and Barcelona [are favourites],” added Ronaldo.
“And also, Manchester City and Paris Saint-Germain, who have a great team and have Neymar.”
