Vinicius: "There are no words to describe" Real Madrid debut
The 18-year-old Brazilian winger revelled in his first senior appearance for the European champions on Saturday after his 45-million-euro summer move.
Vinicius Junior said his Real Madrid debut is a day he will never forget after the teenage star made his bow against city rivals Atlético Madrid.
Brazilian winger Vinicius came off the bench to make history in Madrid's goalless LaLiga draw with Real's city rivals at the Santiago Bernabéu on Saturday.
The 18-year-old, who finalised his €45million transfer from Flamengo in the off-season after agreeing a move to Madrid last year, replaced Karim Benzema in the 87th minute to become the first player born in 2000 to play a competitive game for the Spanish club.
Reflecting on his first senior appearance, having starred for Madrid's Castilla side, Vinicius told Real Madrid TV: "I'm really pleased to have made my first appearance in a Real Madrid shirt.
"We deserved the win but unfortunately we didn't manage to convert our chances. We dominated the play but we now have to switch our attentions to the Champions League."
