MADRID, 9 May. (EUROPA PRESS) –
Real Madrid forward Vinícius Jr celebrated another magical night at the Santiago Bernabéu to reach the final of the Champions League, after a 2-1 against Bayern where he was the MVP of the match, confident of going “for the ‘Fifteenth’ “.
“I am very proud to wear this shirt and to be able to play so many times in this stadium. This is Real Madrid, we never give up. We always believe in ourselves and we know that our fans are going to be supporting us. That has happened once again and we are going to on 15,” he said in statements to Movistar Plus.
The Brazilian did not score but kept the team connected with the public and vice versa, until Joselu’s comeback goals came in the final minutes. “When we play at home we feel like we can do anything. Our family members are close by, we feel the unity of our team and this will always make a difference,” he stated.
“I always say that we want to win at any cost. If I have to go down to defend for my team to win, I’m going to go down. Bellingham and Rodrygo too. We are the ones who have to score the goals, but we go down to go to another final. How do we do all the games up to this point,” he added.
On the other hand, ‘Vini’ insisted on feeling “lucky” to wear the Madrid shirt. “I am lucky to be able to play every game with this shirt. It is a dream to be able to play football and especially for Real Madrid. I came from São Gonçalo, a place in Brazil that is on the other side of the world,” said.
“Normally people don’t leave there and be able to leave and be making a great story with this team, with my family nearby and these fans that love me so much. I do everything for them,” he concluded.
