After overcoming a muscle injury early in the season, Vinicius Junior is now back to his best level. In his second start since his return, the Brazilian attacker scored again for Real Madrid in the 4-0 victory over Osasuna. Last week he had already scored in the 3-2 victory against Napoli in the Champions League.
At 23 years old, the former Flamengo has established himself as the great figure of Madrid along with Jude Bellingham, who began his time in Spain in a phenomenal way. With the number 7 on his back, Vini continues on a path of success that generates admiration from fans and praise from the press.

Vinicius receives a 9 for his performance against Osasuna
The Spanish newspaper Marca was fascinated by another great presentation by the Vinicius-Bellingham duo. The Englishman, author of a double, was chosen as the figure of the match with a 10, while the Brazilian received a 9: “He has been in the news this week for his statement in court, but where the former Flamengo player speaks best is in the field. He had just rediscovered the goal in Naples and against Osasuna he wanted to repeat it. He finished a one-on-one perfectly to put the first on his personal account and made a masterful play to assist Joselu. He was replaced by Rodrygo in the 72nd minute.”
With this goal, the Selecao star has accumulated three shouts in seven appearances so far this season. In addition, it is his 62nd goal in the white uniform, with which he also distributed 65 assists. Madrid, leader of LaLiga with 24 points, will return to the ring on Saturday the 21st, when it visits Seville for matchday 10 of the Spanish championship.
