Vinicius Junior believes Spain has what it takes to lift the World Cup trophy this year. The Real Madrid winger told Cazé TV that La Roja ranks among the tournament favorites.

Spain's recent Euros victory strengthens their chances, he explained. Their squad boasts Barcelona's Lamine Yamal, one of the world's finest talents.

"Fans buy tickets specifically to watch players like him," Vinicius noted. He emphasized Yamal's quality and importance to Spain's campaign.

Spain landed in Group H alongside Saudi Arabia, Cape Verde, and Uruguay. It's been 16 years since they last won the World Cup, clinching it in South Africa back in 2010.
