Real Madrid : Vinicius Jr breaks his silence after a masterclass

It was a memorable night at the Santiago Bernabéu, and Vinicius Jr stood at the heart of it. Outstanding from start to finish, the Brazilian forward scored once, delivered two assists, and even forced an own goal from Thilo Kehrer.

Rated 9/10 and named man of the match, Vinicius delivered the perfect response after being booed last weekend against Levante, reminding everyone of his decisive impact when Real Madrid need him most.

Speaking to UEFA media after the match, Vinicius Jr opened up with rare honesty. “The last few days have been very difficult for me, and for my teammates too, but especially for me because of the booing and everything that’s being said. I’m always in the spotlight, but I want it to be because of what I do on the pitch for this club,” he said.

The Brazilian also highlighted the importance of unity, insisting that playing alongside Kylian Mbappé and the rest of the squad makes his job easier. “We want to win, just like the fans. If we stay united, everything will be easier this season,” he concluded, sending a clear and determined message.
