Vinicius had not scored a goal since he returned from injury, so he came to the Supercopa de Espana final anxious for one.

And with two goals in ten minutes in the Clásico, the Brazilian completely turned the game around, captivating the attention of everyone in Saudi Arabia. Bellingham was his companion in the first. With Rodrygo in the second. Two wonderful goals to raise morale… and giving honor to Cristiano.

After putting on his CR7 outfit, Vini scored the first goal by sitting down Iñaki Peña and taking advantage of a fantastic feed from Bellingham.

The homage took the form of a festival modeled after the famous event that the Portuguese created at Santiago Bernabeu and brought with them to Arabia. Three minutes later, the home crowd was jubilant at Vinicius’s second goal. The Brazilian struck first in the game with a thunderbolt.

They were gold when Vinicius, Bellingham, and Rodrygo faced a sophisticated Barcelona defense. Madrid’s strikers found plenty of space to rush into during Barcelona’s dismal start, and they have since proven to be untouchable there.
