Real Madrid forward Vinicius Junior has caused those at the Santiago Bernabeu to start dreaming again, despite the side's disappointing performances of late.
At just 18 years old, the Brazilian plays with a lot of confidence and he looks at home in this Madrid line-up.
There are other examples of young players coming into their first team in LaLiga Santander and really making a name for themselves, while others failed to live up to the hype.

he shouldn't be the star, as a matter of fact he should be packing his things to get loaned somewhere however we have had so many injuries and some players have played so badly that Vini with all his raw talent just shines, I hope he gets played more, can he be on the attacking trio instead of LV

Very enjoyable to watch once he got going, reminds me a lot of early Robinho with a bit more pace

Deserves to start in the league. By far Madrid's most exciting player at the moment and yes although he is raw by playing consistently in one of the top leagues against top opposition he will evolve and improve his decision making.

Don’t know if I should be excited or concerned that, currently, our best player is an 18 year old kid.

The Bernabéu are in love with Vinicius Junior: the stadium gets excited whenever he has the ball and it was evident against Real Sociedad and Leganés. No player at this age (18) has ever made the Bernabéu this excited since 1994, Raul’s (17)

this young kid he is in a tough situation, boundless energy and a willingness to work hard to please. but he is finding out the hard way that it is not in anyone's interests to see him succeed at the Bernabeau least if all his teammates. he had to work really hard for his glorious moment scouting that stunner. he had to run himself silly on the wing, show for the ball and not receive it quite a few times and not receive. and as the game wore on and the uneasiness of the crowd and the pressure grew, and he settled down to the thwarting of dreams, he was playing in the inside now trying to get on the ball amongst the wolves🦊 he was about to be subbed.. . then[Camera][Cheer][Bear]

The amazing thing is his age, he has so much time to develop certain things like finishing/shooting and protecting the ball. If he develops properly then I think Perez hit the jackpot on the next Neymar. So much similarities between him and Santos Neymar
