The Brazilian football legend Romario praised the levels presented by Vinicius Junior in the 2026 World Cup, confirming that the Real Madrid star possesses all the attributes to be the standout player in the tournament and a fundamental pillar in the Brazilian national team's lineup.

Romario said: 'Vinicius is one of the top five players in the World Cup, he has all the attributes to be the standout star in this tournament. I don't know if it can be said that he will be the 1994 Romario version, but he is indeed a fundamental piece in the Selecao.'

The 1994 World Cup winner pointed out that Vinicius has become the player capable of making a difference in major matches, thanks to his speed, skills, and ability to make decisive plays, affirming that the Brazilian national team heavily relies on him in their quest to compete for the title.
