Vinícius Júnior joined Carlo Ancelotti for the press conference ahead of the Brazil vs Morocco clash. The Seleção’s No. 7 showed great respect for the Atlas Lions.

He said: "All credit to Morocco for what they have achieved. They have become a huge role model for many countries in Africa and beyond."

Just like his coach, the Real Madrid star highlighted the high technical level of the Atlas Lions. "They have talented players and their technical skills are outstanding."

They have Díaz, Hakimi and others who regularly feature in the Champions League. It's going to be a fantastic match to watch. I hope the fans enjoy a spectacular football show.

Morocco, currently ranked seventh in the latest FIFA rankings and 2022 World Cup semi-finalists, have earned the respect of the world’s football elite. The match is set for Saturday, June 13 at 22:00 GMT in New York.
