Real Madrid’s head coach Carlo Ancelotti has heaped praise on two standout members of his squad. The players in question, Jude Bellingham and Vinícius Jr., have been crucial in nearly securing the La Liga title for their team.

Following a significant match against archrivals Barcelona in Madrid, Vinícius Jr. scored a goal and provided an assist, while Bellingham sealed the deal with a decisive goal in the dying moments of the game. Their performances have been key components of what could potentially be a season leading to a domestic and European double.

In his discussion with the media on Thursday, Ancelotti took the opportunity to commend both Bellingham and Vinícius for their exceptional campaigns. Prior to Real Madrid’s upcoming match against Real Sociedad at Anoeta on Friday, he explicitly stated, “The Ballon d’Or should go to Bellingham and Vinícius.”
