100 Vinicius Junior Goals With Real Madrid, “I want to make history here”
Vinicius Junior scored twice in the comfortable 5-1 win over Salzburg and reached 100 goals for Real Madrid. However, the statistics for the club count him at 101 goals, since they consider that a goal by Kiko Olivas against Valladolid in 2018 corresponds to vinicius jr goals, something that LaLiga does not do because it was not recorded as such in the match report.
The goals of the Sao Gonçalo native are distributed as follows, according to Madrid: 57 in La Liga, 28 in the Champions League, 7 in the Copa del Rey, 4 in the Spanish Super Cup, 3 in the Club World Cup and 1 in the Intercontinental Cup.
“I’m very happy to be able to reach 100 goals with this shirt. Now I’m just three behind Ronaldo, the Brazilian with the most goals for Madrid. I hope I can continue like this and score many goals to mark an era in this team, which is my dream,” he declared on Movistar.
“The goals are making me a better player. At the beginning here [at Real Madrid], I didn’t score so many, but now I can have a bad game but still score two goals, and it’s a good habit!” he said.
“It’s normal that we understand each other better with Kylian. He came to help us and we want to help him to be the top scorer in all competitions,” said the Brazilian, who also praised Carlo Ancelotti teams coached. “He has many years of experience and knows how to manage the team when things are not going well. This group is very simple because there are many young people who listen and who want to make an era here.”
“Until I scored I didn’t feel like I was having a good game. I got a yellow card and I’m out of the next game. Rodrygo and Bellingham also deserved the MVP. I’m happy with my game and my goals despite playing badly,” the winger said.
“The celebration is for friends, playing on the PlayStation, and it is also done by a friend who plays in France. Since I started doing it, I’m scoring more goals, so I’m going to keep doing it,” joked Vinicius.
