Real Madrid

Vinicius the rocket | Marca


Vinicius Junior is having a remarkable start to the 2021/22 season, and the numbers he’s putting up have Real Madrid smiling so far. He’s enjoying an incredible run of form, and he has led Los Blancos alongside Karim Benzema.

In just six LaLiga Santander games, he’s scored five times and has already overtaken his previous best tally for domestic goals of three. He’s just one goal shy of equalling his best goalscoring season at Real Madrid and it’s only September. He has, along with Benzema, Thibaut Courtois, Eder Militao, and Fede Valverde, played in every game under Carlo Ancelotti so far.

His appearance against Real Mallorca marked his 125th for the club at 21 years, two months and 10 days old, having already become one of the youngest players to hit a century of appearances at the club.?Vinicius‘ 100th appearance came on March 1, and only Camacho, Iker Casillas and Raul Gonzalez did it at a younger age.

Impressive numbers

Since hitting 100 appearances, Vinicius has played every Real Madrid match, taking him to 125 now. Eighteen of those came last season, with the other seven this term.

At Vinicius’ age now, Sergio Ramos had played 99 times for the club, Marcelo 72, Nacho Fernandez two, and Benzema hadn’t yet debuted. Casillas‘ total of 136 games by Vinicius‘ current age isn’t much higher.

Last season, only Courtois (51) played more than the Brazilian’s 49 games, and he’s featured in 56 of the last 59 Real Madrid matches. Under Ancelotti, Vinicius has become untouchable.
