Arsenal dealt with Real Madrid star Vinicius Junior without any trouble in the Champions League.

The Brazilian is widely regarded as one of the best attackers in the world. He has caused all sorts of problems to some of the top defenders and has produced several great moments for the Galacticos.

However, when Vinicius came up against Jurrien Timber over the two legs in the Champions League, the Arsenal man was the clear winner.

So, is the Real Madrid attacker, who finished second in last year’s Ballon d’Or ceremony, still the best winger in the world?

Simon Jordan doesn’t think so.

Simon Jordan says Arsenal star Bukayo Saka is better than Vinicius Junior

Bukayo Saka is Arsenal’s best player.

The Englishman has carried the Gunners on his back for several years now, and he is among the biggest reasons why they are challenging for the big trophies.

The 23-year-old has delivered almost every time he has played this season, but Saka suffered a hamstring injury in December that sidelined him for over three months.

That really hurt Arsenal, and many will argue that is the reason why they will not win the Premier League this season.

But, following his performance against Real Madrid in the Champions League, former Crystal Palace owner Jordan has claimed that Saka is now the best winger in the world ahead of Vinicius.

He said about Saka on talkSPORT: “I think he is the best winger in the world. I think he is better than Vinicius Junior. I think he is more effective, and him coming back into the side has given a shot in the Arsenal arm that has obviously created outcomes in this particular game.

“Declan Rice, both performances – first leg at the Emirates and the second leg for a different reason, in a different way at the Bernabeu – was a compelling force.

“But Saka, despite the fact that he takes a Panenka and misses it, he goes and rectifies that by scoring a goal.

“I think he’s a wonderful player and I think he was a massive, massive miss for Arsenal in that period of time (when he was injured).”

Just one thing separates Bukayo Saka and Vinicius Jr

If you watched the two legs between Arsenal and Real Madrid in the Champions League, there’s no debate that Saka was better than Vinicius.

The Arsenal man made David Alaba look average in both games, and even though he missed a penalty, he was miles better than any Real Madrid player.

But, for Saka to be recognised by everyone as the best winger in the world ahead of Vinicius, he needs to start winning big trophies.

The Brazilian has won two Champions League titles and scored in both finals. If Saka can help Arsenal go all the way this term, he will convince everyone that he is right up there.
