Player to watch – Vinícius Júnior
Real Madrid signed Vinicius Junior from Flamengo back in 2018 and have developed the Brazilian forward into one of the best players in world football.
His first three seasons at the club only produced a total of 14 goals across all competitions but his fourth, fifth, and sixth seasons with the Spanish giants each produced 20+ goals, with the Brazilian netting 24 in the 2023/24 campaign.
The Brazilian has been in fantastic form over the last three seasons
With Kylian Mbappe joining the club this summer Real Madrid are surely going to be unstoppable this season, scoring goals for fun in what is starting to feel like a return of the ‘Galacticos' era.
