Having to face Lionel Messi in any scenario can't be easy, but this time, Real Madrid's rising star may have gotten a bit over the line prior to the league and cup games ahead.
Brazilian wingman Vinicius admitted that playing these type of games should be enough motivation for all footballers, but with two of them coming up, one can expect an even higher level of motivation from both teams.
"El Clásico is always a nice game, it's the best game any player can take part of. We are ready for what's coming and to win. Having to play two of these games is something that all players involved will enjoy," the youngster said.
The Brazilian ace, who made his debut in El Clásico a couple of weeks back, admitted that Lionel Messi's presence should always be considered, since even though he regards the Argentine as one of the best in the world, the Spanish giants also have some top-class players to damage Los Blaugranas.
"Messi is like that, he is an amazing player, but we can't be scared by anyone. We are ready to face him, because we have some of the best players in the world," Vinicius added.
The footballer was highly praised by experts around the world after his first Clásico, and is expected to make a similar impact during his first outing against the bitter rivals on Wednesday evening.
