  WHAT HAPPENED?

  The Real Madrid star claimed that opponents face difficulty while defending against him as he credited manager Carlo Ancelotti for a tactical shift that has made it possible. The Brazilian, who predominantly plays as a winger, has scored 16 in 27 matches across all competitions in this season and has provided eight assists.

• WHAT VINICIUS JUNIOR SAID

  Speaking in an interview with the club's official website, the Brazil international said, "I'm trying to help as much as I can, changing my game. I'm unstoppable because when I'm not playing well as a winger I go central and the opponents don't know how to defend against me."

They are also leading the Spanish top-tier title race by seven points and have made it to the quarter-final of the Champions League.
