#3 Vinicius Junior
It is rare for a player to lead Los Blancos' offense at his age but Vinicius Junior has managed to be the spark Real Madrid needed to perform better offensively. Even at 18, he is challenging some of the best defenders in the world fearlessly as a relative unknown.
In five Copa del Rey appearances this season, Vinicius Junior has racked up two goals and two more in his six LaLiga starts. There is no doubt that Vinicius played a huge role in Real Madrid's recent turnaround and deservedly, gained the trust of Santiago Solari.
Despite his flaws, Vinicius' pace, energy, and relentlessness on the left flank helped Real Madrid find some success in the final third. Moreover, his combination with Karim Benzema upfront is proving to be deadly for opposition defenders. He will surely be one of the players to watch out for and Ajax will be aware of the threat of 18-year-old Brazilian.
