They said he wasn't good enough for the Real Madridthat he struggled to be decisive, that he would never stop rushing into the box… The beginnings of Vinicius Jr (24 ans) in the Spanish capital were the image of these criticisms which aimed to cut short the progress of the man who is now an incredible competitor.
Six years after signing, he received the award The Best of the FIFAwhich crowns him the best footballer in the world, and he has just won his 14th title after scoring in the final of the Intercontinental Cup.

In the “Vini era”, life for his team's main rivals is a little more difficult. Since 2018, the Madrid club has won more trophies (14) than all clubs in LaLiga (13) over the same period.
Decisive in the final
Far from the simple aesthetic component of having numerous trophies under your belt, which is no small thing, Vinicius was decisive in virtually every final he played as a player in white, even scoring in both finals of Champions League in which he participated (2022 and 2024).
He started the month of January with a hat-trick in Spanish Super Cup during the 4-1 victory against the Barçaclosed the Spanish championship with 15 goals and was crowned at Wembley, the temple of football, with another goal in the final of the Champions League against the Borussia Dortmund.
With an indomitable spirit and an unwavering character, the No. 7 has become synonymous with victory for the team coached by Carlo Ancelotti. Each obstacle stimulated him and he has already scored 14 direct goals in the 12 finals played.
