Brazilian player Willian admits being in awe of Real Madrid star after receiving national team call-up

Willian's outstanding performances for Palmeiras have caught the attention of Chelsea, who are set to complete his transfer in early 2025.

He told reporters, per Goal: “I’ve already managed to meet Vini. That was the thing that made me most nervous about meeting him. 

“He’s a reference for what he’s doing at Real Madrid, for me, he’s the best in the world. 

“These are guys that we see playing in the Champions League, important championships, and it gives us butterflies in our stomach. I’m going to try to learn a lot from them."
