Vinicius reacts after MOTM performance vs Monaco: ‘If we’re together, we’re going to do great things’ | OneFootball

Real Madrid’s 6-1 win over AS Monaco last night saw the team deliver a comprehensive performance all across the field, with Kylian Mbappe, Vinicius Jr, Jude Bellingham, and Franco Mastantuono getting on the scoresheet.

At the end, however, it was Vinicius who stole the show with a goal, five shots, and two assists.

The Brazilian was simply unstoppable down the flank and reminded the Santiago Bernabeu of why he is still one of the best players in the world in his position.

Speaking to the media after the game, the MVP spoke out on the team’s performance, his feelings, and the goal he scored on the night.

“We were very focused from the start, moving the ball from side to side. Whenever I can get on the ball, they’re my best moments,” he began.

The player then spoke on how recent weeks have not been easy for him on a personal level, and understandably so, as he not only struggled for form but also was booed by the Santiago Bernabeu.

“The last few days have been very tough for all my teammates and especially for me, because of the boos and everything that’s been said about me.

“I’m always in the spotlight, and I don’t want to be there for things off the pitch, I want to be there for what I do on it and for everything I’ve done for this club,” he added.

Elaborating on how he keeps the team first and gives his all on the field, the Brazilian continued,

“But the demands are very high, and I have to deliver every day. I won’t always be at my best technically, but I try to give my all for this club that has given me so much.”

The player then praised his teammates for the performance they dropped on the night and how the support of the fans meant a lot to the team.

“It’s very easy to play with Mbappe and all the players we have here. We have a very good connection and we have to continue like this.

“At home, we have to have the support of the fans so that everything can get back to normal. We all want to win and, if we’re together, we’re going to do great things this season,” he added.

Finally, he was asked to comment on the goal he scored on the night, to which he said,

“It was a great moment. I’d given a lot of assists, and all my teammates told me I had to score. It’s important to have the confidence of my teammates.

“We’re a family. If we’re at our best, we can win big things this season.”
