Vinícius Sends a Powerful Message to Real Madrid Fans Ahead of Champions League Derby vs Atlético
Vinícius Junior has urged Real Madrid fans to turn the Santiago Bernabéu into a fortress as the team prepares to face Atlético de Madrid in the Champions League Round of 16 first leg this Tuesday.
A Milestone Night for Vinícius
The match against Real Betis marked Vinícius' 300th official game for Real Madrid, making him the 45th player in club history to reach this milestone. At 24 years old, he became the third-youngest player to achieve this feat, trailing only Raúl González and Iker Casillas.
However, Los Blancos failed to celebrate with a win, suffering a disappointing defeat at Benito Villamarín.
"A bad game from all of us yesterday, but that's it!!!", Vinícius wrote on X (formerly Twitter), emphasizing the need to shift focus to the upcoming European clash.
Vinícius Calls for an Electric Bernabéu Atmosphere
With Atlético Madrid standing in their way in Europe’s biggest club competition, Vinícius wasted no time rallying the Madridistas to create an electrifying atmosphere at the Bernabéu.
"Let’s make the Bernabéu GO CRAZY on Tuesday!! We need you!!!!! See you there!!!!!!!!", the Brazilian forward posted.
The Madrid Derby in the Champions League is set to be a high-stakes encounter, as both teams battle for a spot in the quarter-finals. The Bernabéu crowd, known for its historic European nights, will play a crucial role in Carlo Ancelotti’s side gaining an edge before the return leg at the Cívitas Metropolitano.
