Former Barcelona midfielder Arthur Melo has offered high praise for Real Madrid, declaring them the best club in world football following their latest triumph.
Arthur, who once patrolled the midfield for the Catalan giants, faced off against Los Blancos on Sunday as part of Fiorentina’s squad. Introduced from the bench, the Brazilian witnessed firsthand Madrid’s dominant display at the Santiago Bernabéu.
Goals from Luka Modrić and Vinícius Jr. secured a 2-0 victory for Carlo Ancelotti’s men, who controlled proceedings with a blend of precision and quality. Their clinical finishing and commanding presence left a lasting impression on Arthur.
Speaking to the media post-match, the on-loan Juventus star didn’t hold back in his admiration, stating:
“Real Madrid, in my opinion, is the best team in the world right now.”
