Vinicius Junior achieves impressive marks with another goal in the Champions League
With his great goal against City, Vinicius once again made history in the continental competition. By reaching 15 shouts in the tourament, he equaled the number registered by Ronaldo Nazário with the Merengues. In addition, as a MisterChip pointed out, it was his first goal with a shot from outside the area in this tournament.
On the other hand, the former Flamengo has 11 consecutive games as a starter with a goal participation in the Champions League, a record previously held by Cristiano Ronaldo alone. What is clear is that Vinicius writes his name along with other legends in the most important competition in Europe. At just 22 years old, the sky seems to be the limit for this guy.
