Guti, 46, also has backed the current Madrid star to go on to be a “god of football” is he can improve his final ball.

He told El Chiringuito: “It’s incredible…his current form.

“It’s crazy the fear he puts into defenders and how easy it is for him to dribble one way, another way.

“When he has a bit more consistency with his final pass, he’s going to be a god of football.”

Guti was then asked if Vinicius, 22, is even better than PSG star Mbappe at the moment.

He replied: “Of course. Current form? Number one right now.

“I’ve seen PSG and their league games and Champions League games.

“It’s true that Mbappe is really good, but what Vinicius is doing right now is out of this world.”

Vinicius starred for Los Blancos midweek in the win over Chelsea.

He set up Marcos Asensio’s goal to give his side a 2-0 advantage heading into the second leg of the Champions League quarter-final at Stamford Bridge.

Mbappe and Haaland are both enjoying prolific seasons in front of goal, scoring 76 goals between in them in all competitions.

While Vinicius has netted 21 goals and provided 16 assists in 45 appearances this season, although he is a different profile of attacker to the PSG and Man City forwards.
