Vinícius Júnior wants to become the best Brazilian player in the history of Real Madrid. With his hat-trick scored this Saturday against Osasuna, the former Flamengo winger took another step in this direction. Thanks to his three new achievements, he now finds himself at 96 goals scored in 281 matches with Casa Blanca. That’s 8 less than Ronaldo ‘R9’ Nazario, author of 104 goals in 177 matches.
If Vini Jr. is still far from having the same credit as the Galacticos icon, the 24-year-old winger is tirelessly getting closer to the Brazilian football legend’s record. The Auriverde international (35 caps, 5 goals) will, however, still have to work to follow in the footsteps of the former center forward, double Ballon d’Or (1997, 2002). We will also have to start with his performance in the national team, which possibly cost him his first Ballon d’Or in his career, to the benefit of Rodri.
