Voted best player of the match once again, Vinícius Júnior celebrated his place in the final, but missed out on the Best in the World award
Despite the Real Madrid demonstrate having the heaviest shirt in the world every season in recent years, Vinícius Junior He was a crucial part of the club to continue making this a reality. The Brazilian player was voted the best in the round-trip matches of the Champions League semi-finals, but he missed out on the possibility of being voted the best in the world in the coming months.
“I have to say that I want to win another Champions League with this team, with this squad. And that I can do great things this season. And then there’s everything with the Brazilian team. I always think about the cast, about doing the best for the team and then for myself. Everyone talks about the Ballon d’Or, but I’m very calm. If it has to be, it will be at the right time“, he said in an interview with “TNT Sports”, after the classification.

Even so, Vinícius’s season is one of impressive numbers, as he has scored 21 goals and distributed nine assists in the 36 matches played so far. In any case, the Real Madrid striker made a point of sharing the merits with some of his teammates, especially remembering Joselu, who scored both of his goals.
“We have 25 protagonists in this team, everyone worked very hard this season to reach the objective, which was to go to London no matter what and win the League. We’ve already won the league, we’re already in London, we’re going to celebrate until Sunday. We have to go to Cibeles to celebrate with our fans. The prize is for all players, who do everything possible. Today Joselu came on for 80 minutes and scored two goals. The award is his too, he always worked to do better for the team and never complained about sometimes not playing. This shows our group, I have never played in a group as united as this season“, added Vini.
It is worth remembering that the victory was very emotional last Wednesday, 8th, with Real Madrid scoring two goals in three minutes, with the game close to the end. With their place in the final guaranteed, the Merengues will have the Borussia Dortmund ahead, in a clash scheduled for June 1st, at Wembley, England.
