Madrid's late win fuels title push
Vinicius Junior, Real Madrid's star, expressed happiness after the Royals 1-0 victory over Celta Vigo on Friday night in La Liga.
In a Real Madrid TV interview, Vinicius said the win was welcome and crucial for staying at the top of La Liga, adding that Madrid always fights to defend the club badge.
He explained that scoring late shows how effort can pay off, lifting the team mood and building confidence for upcoming matches. He argued such results forge champions and reinforce belief heading into tougher tests.
The Brazilian added that there is no better gift than this for their supporters today.
I feel I am in my best form, he continued, working hard daily with the coaching staff and teammates to reach this level. I feel confident in front of goal and strong enough to help the team in defense and attack. I am very happy that things are going well and that I can contribute to the team's victories.
I was a little tired today after a heavy spell of games, but we must always be ready for every challenge.
And he said we want to see the great Real Madrid against Manchester City, and to be the team that dominates, attacks, and fights for every ball.
We must be perfect against City, he urged, calling on fans to repeat what they always do, cheering loudly and making the Bernabeu a fortress for the opponent. We become much stronger as a team thanks to their support.
