Published on: 03 October 2026

Davide Ancelotti, son of former Real Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti, has spoken about Vinicius Junior and the Brazilian winger’s standing among his team-mates.

Ancelotti worked as an assistant to his father on the Real Madrid coaching staff before taking charge of French club Lille independently this summer.

Vinicius, 26, has faced frequent criticism this season for a lack of consistent impact and end product. The winger has scored once and provided three assists in eight matches.
