On Wednesday, Real Madrid lifted their second trophy of the season when they defeated Pachuca 3-0 in the Intercontinental Cup. Vinicius Junior provided a goal and an assist in Doha, resulting in him being named Player of the Tournament.
After the match (via Diario AS), Vinicius looked back on his very successful week. He won FIFA's Best Men's Player Award for the 2023-2024 season on Tuesday, and 24 hours later played a major role in Real Madrid's Intercontinental Cup success.
“It was a very nice week, very important for me, for all the players who have played with me since I was a child. Thanks to Real Madrid for everything they have done for me, they help me every day to do great things for the team. Hopefully we can continue for a long time.
“Real Madrid always wants to be at the top. The trophy we won today is not just any trophy. We have been crowned the best club in the world. It is my third trophy and hopefully with this shirt I can achieve more victories.”
Vinicius also spoke about controversially missing out on the 2024 Ballon d'Or award in October.
“I live very peacefully every day. I arrived at Real Madrid, the best club in the world, and I didn't hang my head, I always worked. The people who didn't vote for me aren't going to change what I think and what my colleagues say every day. I am here to work for them.”
