Ex-Flamengo star Vini Jr scores in 4 straight games for Real Madrid | OneFootball

Vini Jr's Goal Occurs After Racism Incident in the Champions League

Real Madrid (ESP) was losing 1-0 to Osasuna (ESP) this Saturday (21), but Vini Jr equalized for the merengue club. However, the former Flamengo player's goal did not prevent a 2-1 defeat in the 25th round of La Liga, in the Spanish Championship.

On the left, Federico Valverde crossed a low ball into the small area. Then, the star dove to push and shake Osasuna's net at 27 minutes into the second half, at El Sadar. However, the home team scored with Budimir and Raúl García.

Why is Vini's goal important?

Thus, the Flamengo academy product scored in all of Real Madrid's last four games. This is because the forward found the net against Rayo Vallecano (ESP), twice against Real Sociedad (ESP), Benfica (POR), and now Osasuna (ESP).

Despite Real Madrid's defeat, the forward scored shortly after experiencing racism in the Champions League. On that occasion, Prestianni from Benfica called the Brazilian a monkey, but received no punishment.

Does the defeat complicate Real Madrid?

The result puts the team in trouble, as Barcelona (ESP) only needs to win in the round to take the lead in the Spanish league. This is because Real Madrid has 60 points, while their rivals have two less.

How is Flamengo doing without Vini Jr?

While the Gávea product aims for La Liga, Flamengo seeks a spot in the Campeonato Carioca. Thus, the first semifinal match takes place this Sunday (22), starting at 8:30 PM (Brasília time), at Maracanã.
