Despite being one of the best players in the NFL, Vinicius Jr. of Real Madrid was an equal opponent for Justin Jefferson in the football field.
Jefferson, a wide receiver for the Minnesota Vikings who is currently in his fourth season with the organization, took a break to meet Vinicius Jr., one of the game’s rising stars.

Both participated in a number of tasks, one of which saw the Real Madrid player display his class.
On a small five-a-side pitch, Jefferson was given the duty of going in goal and stopping three of the 23-year-old’s tries.
“Imma be the goalie, he gotta score on me,” he declared with confidence before the game. He’s had three opportunities, and I doubt he will get another.”
“Let’s see if the best soccer player can score against me,” Jefferson continued.

The NFL star was left wondering what to do with his feet when Vinicius Jr. answered his query a few moments later by running from the midway line to the small box and pulling off the feats.
The Brazilian kept playing with him on the ball and then slid it between his legs, so all he could do was giggle.
After that, the winger took off and began to perform the “griddy,” an NFL player’s celebration for his very first touchdown in 2020.
Currently recovering from an injury, Vinicius Jr. scored on his second try but was not allowed to score on his third.
Then the positions were swapped, and Jefferson failed to make any of his shots; it appears he will stick to his strengths.
In their 24-28 loss to the Los Angeles Chargers on Sunday, he scored his first touchdown of the year.
At just 24 years old, the 2022 Offensive Player of the Year will undoubtedly have many more NFL seasons to come.
