Vini eyes Ronaldo record after 100th Madrid goal
Briefly

Vinicius Junior has reached a milestone of 101 goals for Real Madrid, aiming to surpass the legendary Ronaldo Nazario's record. In a recent match against RB Salzburg, he scored twice, contributing to a 5-1 victory that secured Madrid a playoff spot for the Champions League knockout phase. Despite receiving the MVP award, Vinicius felt he underperformed initially, praising his teammates Rodrygo and Jude Bellingham. Coach Carlo Ancelotti acknowledged the team's attacking prowess but stressed the need to improve their defense moving forward.
Vinicius expressed his desire to surpass Ronaldo Nazario's 104-goal record for Real Madrid, stating, ‘I'm three goals away from Ronaldo, from being the Brazilian with most goals.’
Rodrygo praised Jude Bellingham for his assist, saying, ‘It's very easy to play with Jude, with the movements he makes, the passes he gives you.’
Coach Carlo Ancelotti emphasized, ‘We don't have any doubts about the players up front. We'll try to fix the rest, and improve in every game.’
Despite being named MVP, Vinicius humbly remarked, ‘I had the feeling that I couldn't play well in the first half...but I'm happy with the win and goals.’
