Vinicius Jr

The mission is accomplished for Real Madrid to finally finish the A Por La 15 dream by winning the Champions League title 15 times. The UCL final between Real Madrid and Dortmund where Madrid dominated the whole match and strangled their way up to the 2-0 win.

The exciting phenomenon of the big names scoring like Vinicius Jr and Dani Carvajal made it difficult for Dortmund to even ignite their hope to make the trail into a chase. Toni Kroos and Jude Bellingham even contributed their way as part of assists to make their dream even possible.

There was one man behind this big project and he gave it throughout the whole campaign and that man is none other than Vinicius Jr. His aura and his expertise in dribbling, scoring goals, and pace have stunned all of his opponents who faced him during this UCL season.

When Cristiano Ronaldo left Real Madrid in 2018, many Real Madrid fans erupted into a dilemma after CR7’s demise who would take his place?  That’s where Vinicius Jr came into the rescue he came from from Flamengo to Madrid just to be in a player development scenario.

Although, Vini Jr made many blunders in terms of passing, dribbling, shooting, and other factors as well, even fans wanted him to leave the club as soon as possible. Fortunately, the Brazilian wonderkid never gave up.

He worked hard enough to make his place on the first team and started giving a hell of a performance every matchday. He even scored in the 2022 finals of the Champions League against Liverpool where he was the lone player to score so.

This season of the Champions League Vinicius had the blast by scoring 6 UCL goals in the entire campaign. Vinicius already holds the respectable position of 17 UCL goals out of 24 matches in the Champions League since the 2021/22 season. His brilliance already keeps him ahead of players like Griezmann, Haaland, Giroud, and Kane.

Vinicius is a big fan of the former legendary Real Madrid and Portuguese player Cristiano Ronaldo. He even worked too hard to be a worthy holder of the number 7 player. But, can he be the holder of Ronaldo’s legacy?

There might be a long way ahead to achieve so much that Ronaldo has achieved. Vinicius jr has so far scored 21 goals in the Champions League since the 2020 edition of the Champions League. The best he has produced as an individual performance in the CL by scoring 7 goals.

Cristiano Ronaldo alone has scored 141 goals in his entire career in the Champions League. His best performance in the UCL remarks as the most dominant record in the Champions League. He has scored 17 goals which is an outrageously unbelievable record for any player in the 2013/14 season of the UCL where they won the league.

Ronaldo holds the mark of the most Ballon d’Or wins by any Real Madrid player. He has 4 Ballon d’Or for Real Madrid and one for Manchester United. Vinicius to achieve more needs to work more on his playmaking and assisting skills. However, the last Ballon d’Or winner for Madrid was Karim Benzema who won in 2022.

There were multiple incidents where Vinicius Jr messed up so badly that even his teammates like Benzema said some unbelievable words about him. The fans and the opponents also were against him countless times but still, how did he keep them silent?

For the past two years, he has been racially abused and called “m****y” which remarks the racism in La Liga. Despite being racially abused he has given a lot to the club and the fans to remind them of the power of Los Blancos.
