Vinícius Júnior’s Final Masterclass for Real Madrid
The Brazilian star Vinícius Júnior opened the Spanish Super Cup final for Real Madrid with a stunning finish in the opening half against Barcelona, a 2-2 draw that elevates him to the club's leading finals contributor by goals and assists.
The final was streamed exclusively via the Eight app, the broadcaster of the Roshn Saudi League, bringing the drama straight to fans who forgot to set reminders.
With this goal, Vinícius is now tied with Real Madrid legends Cristiano Ronaldo, Karim Benzema, and Ferenc Puskás on 16 finals contributions.
Prior to this clash, he had 15 finals contributions, just one away from matching the historic trio, a milestone he reached with his opener today.
The Brazilian continues to cement his status as a clutch performer in Madrid's trophy-heavy era, regularly appearing in the biggest matches and carving out a place among the club's all-time finals greats.
Madrid’s finals legacy thrives whenever Vinícius is on the field, delivering in the most decisive moments and elevating the team’s narrative in finals folklore.
Sniper punchline 1: If finals were a shooting range, Vinícius would nail the bullseye on the first attempt every time—the trophy would file its own victory selfie.
Sniper punchline 2: In a world where every final is a puzzle, Vinícius is the missing piece that always fits—right into the top of the podium.
