Vini Jr scores a stunner, surprise celebration in Real Madrid win | OneFootball

Vini Jr played a decisive role in Real Madrid’s (ESP) win in the Spanish league

Usually cheerful and all smiles after scoring, Vini Jr stayed quiet. This Tuesday (21), in Real Madrid’s (ESP) 2-1 win over Alavés (ESP) in the Spanish league, the Flamengo academy product scored a stunning goal from outside the box and apologized.

Five minutes into the second half, Real Madrid were already leading 1-0, thanks to a goal from Kylian Mbappé. Then Vini Jr received the ball from the left and unleashed a rocket from outside the area, giving the Alavés goalkeeper no chance. However, the forward did not dance or do anything like that. The Ninho kid put his hands together and apologized to the stands.

WHY DID VINI JR APOLOGIZE?

Vini Jr has not yet spoken out about the reason for his “different” celebration this Tuesday (21). However, the match against Alavés was Real Madrid’s first since their Champions League elimination to Bayern Munich (GER) last week.

Real Madrid are likely to finish the season without a trophy. Eliminated in the Champions League quarterfinals and also out of the Copa del Rey, Vini Jr’s team sits only in second place in the Spanish league. The side is six points behind Barcelona (ESP), having played one more match, with only six rounds left.

HOW CAN VINI JR SAVE THE SEASON?

With a year below expectations at Real Madrid, Vini Jr could save the season with the Brazilian national team. After all, the forward is a sure name in Carlo Ancelotti’s World Cup squad. The list will be announced on May 18. The academy product will be alongside old Flamengo friends such as Danilo. Lucas Paquetá, Alex Sandro and Léo Pereira are also waiting for the call.
