Real Madrid’s New Hero Vinicius Junior

Read how Vinicius Junior has become the new hero of Real Madrid, outshining even Ballon d'Or winner Karim Benzema in the 2022/23 season.

Real Madrid's New Hero Vinicius Junior

Real Madrid ended the 2021/22 season with two major titles, the Spanish and the Champions League. It was a season where Karim Benzema was the individual standout player, winning the Ballon d’Or and finishing as the top scorer in both competitions. However, in the current 2022/23 season, the main protagonist of the biggest club in the world is no longer Benzema. Real Madrid’s New Hero is Vinicius Junior, who has become the main player in Carlo Ancelotti’s team.

Vinicius’ Exuberant Performance Against Liverpool

In the round of 16 of the Champions League, Real Madrid faced Liverpool in a thrilling encounter. Vinicius, the 22-year-old striker, was the standout performer in the game. He scored two goals in the first half, including a well-taken finish surrounded by defenders. He also won the foul that led to Militão’s goal, which completed the comeback for Real Madrid. Vinicius also provided an assist for Benzema to score.

The Numbers Speak for Themselves

Vinicius’ importance to the team is further highlighted by the numbers. He has played more minutes than any other player in the team, and he is the top scorer for Real Madrid in the 2022/23 season. He is the player who has been used the most as a starter, and his absence would be felt more by the team than Benzema’s. Vinicius has shown maturity beyond his age and has dealt with issues such as racist insults with great composure.

The Brazilian has become a vital player in a short squad that has suffered from injuries. Vinicius’ performances have been consistent throughout the season, and he is currently the best Brazilian player active in Europe for the second season in a row.

Palpable Chances for a Podium at the Next Golden Ball

Vinicius’ performances this season have been exceptional, and he has a good chance of appearing on the podium for the next Golden Ball. With a post-World Cup period that may not have many glittering names, Vinicius has a great opportunity to showcase his talent and lead Real Madrid to another continental conquest.
