Barcelona great Rivaldo insists Kylian Mbappe will join Real Madrid not as their best player.

Rivaldo says that mantel belongs to Vinicius Jr.

"Considering what he does at Real Madrid, Vinícius is undoubtedly the better player today," Rivaldo tells AS.

"Vinícius has a great chance of being awarded the Ballon d'Or. He is already doing very well, he deserved to be there already last season. He is now among the top three players in the world.

"And this year, with what he's doing at Real Madrid, with the way he's playing... he's undoubtedly got a good chance to be the best player in the world, to beat Mbappé at the same price."
