Real Madrid legend Hugo Sanchez has sung the praises of Vinicius Junior.

Sanchez has been impressed by the Real star's progress.

He told Radio Marca: "Vinicius has attracted a lot of attention because of the growth he has had in previous seasons, where he once lacked the last pass or touch, and to be more effective in front of goal, he has worked more to help."

"That extra work helped him to become an indispensable player for Real Madrid's game, and now he has become one of the best players in the world."

Sanchez added: "There were too many points acquired by Barcelona and that is what has worried and drawn the attention of the board, but I am convinced that they will react next season."
