Zapping But! Football Club Real Madrid: the complete list of the Merengues
Little by little, Vinicius Junior (22) is rising among the big names in Real Madrid. Scorer in the Champions League final last season, the Brazilian winger played against RB Leipzig on Wednesday for the second day of the Champions League, his 178th official match with the Madrid club since arriving in Spain in 2018.
A figure that puts Vinicius Jr ahead of Ronaldo, known as “R9”, in the ranking of Brazilians who have played the most games with Real Madrid. The former Flamengo player thus became the fifth most capped Brazilian player in the history of the Merengue club. However, he is still far from overtaking the club’s Brazilian legends, such as Marcelo (546 games) or Roberto Carlos (527).
