Having said that, he continued watching the video. To his surprise, the Brazilian winger picked the Argentine soccer legend over the mighty Ronaldo. The expression on American’s face immediately dropped while he reached for his phone. He then said, “That’s crazy bro. That’s crazy. That is like. That is old bro? What do you mean, this is probably like last year. This Vini Junior bro”.

However, this recent uproar takes nothing away from the Brazilian winger’s unforgettable performance in the Champions League recently.
