IDespite allegations of racist insults in Portugal, Vincius Jr. shined in the high-profile match. The Brazilian star scored once again, proving he is in top form at a crucial moment for Real Madrid, a club desperate for his impact.
Vincius Jr.’s strong record comes at the perfect time
A week ago, manager Jos Mourinho criticized Vini’s celebrations as “excessive”, sparking a backlash from the crowd and Benfica players. Today he was just as happy after scoring, extending his record for the highest scoring streak in a Real Madrid shirt.

The Brazilian winger has found the back of the net in his last five games in all competitions, scoring six goals in total, equaling his previous record set in August-September 2022.
In these five matches, Vincius Jr. scored against Rayo Vallecano, scored twice against Benfica, scored against Osasuna and scored a double against Real Sociedad.
His goals are crucial for Real Madrid and can keep them alive in European competitions – one of only two competitions the team remains in after being eliminated from the Copa del Rey. The timing couldn’t be better, with the La Liga title and Champions League ambitions dependent on Vincius Junior’s continued sharpness and determination.
