He was not one hundred percent and was noticeable in almost every work he did in Atalanta. As soon as there were starts, I hardly saw one of the most explosive players in the world exploit his ability in the open field. And after, Vinicius It was decisive for Real Madrid to win a match in red, A match that had the key to knowing what the near future of Ancelotti’s team will be like.
With no legs to break Bergamo, the Madrid 7 took advantage of football intelligence. He knew how to delay his position , to get a defensive system of Gasperini, He assisted Bellingham in Games 1-3. Before that , he had been sent to a cage Karneski The ball that bounced off him. With the left hand he put Madrid back in the lead with what was his 13th goal this season. At this stage, the total of the last campaign amounted to less than half, six.
The only one he had turned into a goal. Because this Vinicius He is a confident scorer. There was nothing left of the player who came down the curtain when he faced the decisive stage. 7 of Madrid walks by 31 goals throughout 2024 when Madrid still has three games left in front: Rayo , Seville And the final of the Intercontinental. They are strong personalities and that his name appears among the top scorers in the continental football elite. So much so that the Brazilian appears at the top.
There is no possible comparison that will endure 2024 with the course of Vinicius ‘ recording since September 2018, before Atletico de Madrid, He played his first minutes for the Real Madrid first team. The curve that his dynamic goalscorer draws shows the improvement that Vinicius has experienced in the face of the opposing goal.
The data starts from two goals in 2018 And they have never seen a clear increase like the plus 12 that he offers from last year to this year. With three matches still pending. He scored four in 2019, six in 2020, went to 15 in 2021, 20 in 2022 and closed with 19 in 2023.
But it’s not just that the number of goals scored by Vinicius has increased significantly. The Champions He was instrumental in the development of the goals Vinicius Throughout 2024. Leipzig, Two AL Bayern, Four to Borussia Dortmund (One in the Wembley final and three in the return this season), Milan and Atalanta They make up the goalscoring map for Madrid 7 in European Cup matches throughout 2024. Nine goals put the Brazilian among the top scorers in Europe.
The Champions League closes in 2024 with the sixth round of the group stage, Vinicius He shares the progress of the top scorers in the calendar year with three other players: Lewandowski, Ken and Ravinia. 7 is already 9 so he gives passes out of 10 , because , as a native of Barcelona, Vinny He gave three goal assists.
If all competitions are counted, then the 31 goals of Vinicius They improve them Lewandowski (41), Ken (40), (Mbappe) é (34), Jonathan David and Haaland (32 each). None of them is even equal to 13 goal assists from 7 Madrid.
