For a couple of years now, Vinicius Jr. has managed to reach his highest level at Real Madrid. The Brazilian star is one of the most decisive footballers on the field of play at the league level, also standing out in major continental tournaments. As if that were not enough, due to his youth, it is difficult to know if this is the highest level that Vinicius will be able to offer the merengue team, since he aims to continue evolving year after year.

One of the great factors that explains his current high level is his football maturity that has allowed him to make better decisions on the field of play, added to an explosiveness that, according to data from Diario Marca, is totally unmatched in the Spanish championship.

These data have been taken according to the top speed of each footballer so far in LaLiga 2023/2024, taking an average of the maximum speed achieved per game.

Despite leading the ranking with a certain comfortable advantage, Vinicius Jr. would not be the only Brazilian present in the ranking, since Girona striker Savinho also appears in seventh position on the list:

In the current league season, Vinicius Jr. has already accumulated four goals and one assist in 10 games played. However, we will not be able to enjoy his football for several months after confirming his recent tear in the femoral biceps with involvement of the distal tendon of his left leg, which will keep him on the sidelines for just under three months.
