Vinícius Júnior's name has become synonymous with finals at Real Madrid, and it’s easy to see why. The Brazilian winger has proven himself to be a specialist in decisive matches, leaving an indelible mark on every one of them. Since his arrival at the club, Vinícius has transformed into the player that every team wishes to have in their ranks for the most crucial moments of the season.

An Unstoppable Record in Finals

Vinícius has not only been a witness to the club's most iconic victories but also a protagonist in them. In his 11 finals as a starter (and three as a substitute), he has been directly involved in 12 goals, with seven goals and five assists. This impressive record is no coincidence; it’s the result of a player made for shining in the most decisive of matches.

In fact, in his last six finals with the club, Vinícius has been a decisive factor. In the recent final against Pachuca, his sublime dribbling assist for the 1-0 goal is just one example of his ability in such games. He has not only proven to be a scorer but also a creator, as he did in the UEFA Super Cup, when he dismantled Atalanta's defense before assisting Valverde for the winning goal.

Breaking Records

While last season was pivotal in his growth, this one has solidified his status as a final specialist. At Wembley, his goal against Borussia Dortmund made him the youngest player to score in two Champions League finals, surpassing Messi. He also played a key role in the final in Paris, scoring the only goal of the match to seal Madrid's victory at just 23 years and 324 days.

However, his most impressive record came on January 14 in the Spanish Super Cup, when he scored a hat-trick against Barcelona, once again demonstrating his ability to lead the team in high-pressure situations. At just 24 years old, Vinícius has already amassed 14 titles with Madrid, positioning him as a strong contender to break Luka Modric's record of 28 titles.

A Bright Future Ahead

Despite a rocky start to the season for Madrid, Vinícius remains the key player who can lead the team to more successes. With the possibility of playing in up to four finals next season, it promises to be another great opportunity for the Brazilian to continue cementing his legacy. Real Madrid, with Vinícius at the helm, not only aims for titles in every competition but also has a young and talented player who could guide them toward the coveted Septet.

Vinícius Júnior has shown that finals are not just another occasion on the calendar; for him, they are his natural habitat, and with his skills, he could make history every time he steps onto the pitch in these decisive matches.
