Maldini Chooses between Vinícius and Haaland and Surprises Everyone with His Answer

With 2024 ending, several people have engaged in debates about the best players of the past season. Among all the options considered, Vinícius is one of the most frequent players. His impressive last season caused Maldini to surprise with his decision when having to choose between the Brazilian and Haaland.

"I choose Vinícius" were Maldini's words to select the Brazilian as the best of the year. Unable to ignore all the achievements of the forward, Maldini was clear in saying that Vinícius was more decisive than Haaland. While the Norwegian achieved several goals, the Real Madrid player was more crucial in the most important moments.

"I think the Champions League he had was impressive," added Maldini to continue praising the player. In a competition where he was Real Madrid's clear leader, Vinícius earned all the merits to be considered the best.

Maldini's decision

In one of the best seasons of his career, Vinícius impressed the world with his quality. Through 24 goals and 11 assists, the Brazilian was the reason for the successes achieved by Real Madrid. LaLiga, the Spanish Super Cup, and, above all, the Champions League were competitions won by Vinícius's great level.

Maldini's decision only confirms the excellent season the 24-year-old forward had at Real Madrid. While Haaland achieved 38 goals and 5 assists last season, the Norwegian didn't manage to lead his club in the Champions League.

This choice by Maldini also shows that Vinícius deserved more than anyone to have received awards like the Ballon d'Or. Despite that injustice, the current season continues to demonstrate the reasons why Vinícius is the best in the world.

No one at the same level

Despite having started his stint at Real Madrid with several criticisms, Vinícius's level demonstrates his commitment to the club. Having managed to establish himself as an excellent player, the Brazilian's focus is once again on leading the club to more titles.
