Vinicius Júnior Bio

Hardly any youngster in the present world of football comes close to level of Vinicius Junior. The Brazilian's journey from a flashy prodigy from the streets of Brazil to scoring the winning goal in the Champions League final is a source of inspiration for many upcoming footballers. Still in his early years of what promises to be a spectacular career, Vinicius already has several accolades to his name and is considered one of the best players in the world.

Vinicius' journey in senior professional football began in 2017 when he was only 16 years old with the well-renowned Brazilian club, Flamengo. Within weeks of his debut, Real Madrid reached an agreement with Flamengo for the transfer of the young Brazilian. The winger would spend the next year playing in Brazil, developing his game even further. In 2018, for the first time Europe got a sight of Vinicius Junior when he arrived at Real Madrid. After three seasons of immense struggles, failures, hard work and learning, Vinicius finally had his breakthrough season in 2021/22 where he managed 40 goals and assists and also scored the decisive goal in the Champions League final.

Few wingers in the world can match the level of flair Vinicius possesses. His extraordinary speed, skills, dribbling have made him one of the most feared players in the world. In addition to that, his constantly developing shooting and finishing prowess has made Vinicius a complete package.
