Vinicius Junior: Real Madrid star's outrageous nutmeg vs Getafe | OneFootball

Is there a more skilful player in world football right now than Vinicius Junior?

Apart from maybe his international compatriot Neymar, the Real Madrid flyer stands above the rest in the professional game.

Pretty much every single week, the Brazil international dazzles fans with snippets of outrageous flair and technique.

The list of opposing players that Vinicius has humiliated with his magical feet is just getting longer and longer.

And the latest player added to the ever-growing list is Getafe defender, Djene Dakonam.

In just the ninth minute of Real Madrid's visit to the Coliseum Alfonso Pérez on Saturday evening, Vinicius left the Togolese centre-back trailing in his wake with the most filthy of nutmegs.

Djene tried to close down Vinicius and prevent him from driving forward, but left a clear gap between his legs, which the Los Blancos superstar exploited to devastating effect.

Close-up footage of the nutmeg is just so, so good - and it's been slowed down a tad to make it even better.

Stop that, Vinicius! Joga Bonito really is alive and well - and you just love to see it!

Amazingly, the sensational nutmeg wasn't even the first piece of superb skill performed by the ex-Flamengo man in the game.

Almost straight after Eder Militao gave Real Madrid a 1-0 lead in the third minute, Vinicius dipped into his catalogue of tricks by the touchline and the end product was a work of art.

The thought of having to defend against Vinicius in full flow is enough to send a shiver down the spine...

On top of his FIFA Street-esque skills, the 22-year-old is now a bona fide machine in front of goal.

Last season, Vinicius netted 22 goals and recorded 20 assists across all competitions, while he's managed seven goals and four assists in 2022/23 thus far.

He wasn't able to add to that tally in Real Madrid's important 1-0 win away at Getafe, but fans were still praising his performance to the rafters.

Vinicius and Real Madrid will now switch focus to their Champions League match away at Shakhtar Donetsk on Tuesday evening.

The Brazilian scored in the reverse fixture on Wednesday, but Carlo Ancelotti's side were made to work far harder than they would like in their eventual 2-1 win.
