The South American forward was once again at the top of his form in the final three games of the European season, having scored twice at the Allianz Arena.

Jude Bellingham was silent, but Vinicius Jr. was brilliant. In order to make up for his teammate’s poor performance up front, the Real Madrid winger scored twice. This enabled Los Blancos to rally and tie Bayern Munich 2-2 in the Champions League first-leg match.

When Madrid gained the lead in the middle of the first half, they weren’t really in the game. The goal was scored by Toni Kroos, whose pass split the defense and found Vinicius, who beat Manuel Neuer, who was out of position, for the first goal. After the break, Kroos came close to adding a second goal, but Neuer continued to put on a solid shooting display.

But Bayern fought back, and Leroy Sane tied the game by slamming home at the near post. Then, after Jamal Musiala was tripped in the box, Harry Kane gave them the lead by scoring from the penalty spot.

Conversely, Vinicius scored his own penalty when Kim Min-jae’s elegant dance dragged Rodrygo down. Even though Madrid of Spain wasn’t performing at its best, they managed to prevail in the Champions League. They’ll have the impression that everything is ready for the second game.
