I would trade my goals and assists to be in another UCL final: Vinicius Jr

Real Madrid’s winger Vinicius Junior has stated that he would trade all of his goals and assists to be in another UEFA Champions League (UCL) final.

Brazilian forward, who has been in red-hot form the entire season, has contributed to 44 goals this season with 23 goals and 21 assists.

“I would trade all my goals and assists to be in another UCL final,” said Vinicius.

Talking about his performance all the season and how much he contributed to the team, it was a little “frustrating” for the Brazilian to not win the league or UCL.

“Everything I did this year just to not win the UCL and La Liga is a little frustrating for me,” said the 22-year-old.

However, despite not winning any big title this year, the Brazilian is motivated to keep improving his numbers but only if they come to the benefit of the team.

“I want to keep evolving and improving my numbers but always for the benefit of the team,” he concluded.

The 22-year-old has already overtaken his tally of 42 goal contributions in the 2021/22 season where he scored 22 goals and had 20 assists in 52 matches. He helped the Los Blancos win the league and the UCL with his excellent numbers.

Last week, Manchester City thrashed the Spanish giants 4-0 at the Etihad for a 5-1 aggregate victory that exacted revenge for a dramatic semi-final exit to Madrid 12 months ago.

The collective brilliance of Guardiola´s side shone through on a night when stars Erling Haaland and Kevin De Bruyne were kept scoreless.

Only a hat-trick of stunning saves by Madrid goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois to deny Haaland his 53rd goal of the season saved the visitors from a historic humbling.

Bernardo Silva´s first-half double was the least City deserved from a near flawless first half.

Even when they took their foot off the gas after the break, Manuel Akanji´s deflected goal and Julian Alvarez´s cool finish in stoppage time gave the scoreline a fair reflection.
