Vini Jr. was named man of the match in the clash between Real Madrid and Braga on matchday three of the Champions League 2023/24. The forward, who was involved in both goals for our team, commented: “I’m really pleased with how we played, to have got the assists and with my performance in general. I have the time to think and to lay on goals for my teammates. I’m working hard to keep performing at my best, as I have done over the last couple of season, so I can be among the best in the world.”

“This was a difficult place to come, we’ve taken all three points and we haven’t dropped a single one so far. We have to be patient because everything happens gradually. We stay calm and that helps us to get the goals.”

100% record in the Champions League “Having to dig in to win games away from home is to be expected. We played well, we converted our chances and could have scored more goals. We’ve won all three games and we have to keep up this good run.”

Getting back to his best “I’m really pleased to be showing my best form again following my injury. I’d like to thank the physios and the doctors for their efforts because they’ve helped me so much.”

“I’m always moving so fast, sometimes I get carried away. I’m pleased with my performance today but I’m disappointed not to have scored.”   Rodrygo’s goal “I’m really happy Rodrygo got his goal, because he’s my brother. As forward’s, we’re happiest when we’re scoring and creating chances. He always plays good football but he needed the goal to give himself that confidence boost. I hope he can keep scoring more all season.” 

Confidence for the Clásico “It’s great to get the win to build confidence ahead of big games. We’re eager to put on a good display and to win it.”
