Vinicius Junior is enjoying a fantastic moment in his career, and he hasn’t reached his ceiling yet. The 22-year-old attacker became a key player for Real Madrid, who dreams of lifting the UEFA Champions League for the second consecutive season.
The Brazilian already played a fundamental role last season, when he scored the winning goal in the final against Liverpool. This time, he scored a great goal in the first leg of the semi-final against Manchester City to match the number of goals Ronaldo Nazário had with Merengues in the tournament.

Vinicius reaches Ronaldo’s 15 goals in the Champions League with Madrid
With his recent goal against the English team, Vinicius Junior registered 15 goals in the continental competition, the same number that The Phenom registered during his time at the Santiago Bernabéu.
Furthermore, it was the first time that Vini scored with a shot from outside the area. In this way, he has 11 consecutive games with goal participation as a starter, something that only Cristiano Ronaldo had achieved so far.
