Best memory with Madrid

Most special title
“The Champions League. And I thought it would take me a while to win it! I’ve won them all, but I want to win them all again.”
Vinícius
“We came together from Brazil, we’ve made history and this shirt always motivates us. Doing that with a friend is always special. Vini is my friend, my brother, we hope to keep growing together.”
Living a dream
“My father knows that it was always my dream to wear this shirt. When we see the goals I’ve scored here, he gets excited. It’s a source of pride for him and I’m very happy to see him like this.”
Magic of the Santiago Bernabéu
“It’s one of the most special things when I enter the Bernabéu. The fans always help right to the end. There is no explanation. You have to go in, play and feel it.”
