Vinicius Equals Ronaldo’s Goals at Real Madrid and Says It’s a Dream Come True
Vinicius Jr. has hit a major career milestone by matching Brazilian legend Ronaldo Nazário’s goal tally at Real Madrid. The 23-year-old forward netted his 104th goal for the club during their 2-1 loss to Valencia, drawing level with his idol.
Despite the disappointing result, Vinicius expressed pride in the personal achievement. Speaking after the game, he called it a special moment and reflected on the influence Ronaldo had on him when he first arrived at the club.
“It means a lot to me to reach the same number of goals as Ronaldo,” he said. “He was my role model when I joined Madrid as a kid. This was a tough match, but at Real Madrid, we never stop fighting.”
Earlier in January, Vinicius had mentioned that he was just a few goals shy of matching Ronaldo’s record. Now that he’s done it, he’s setting his sights even higher and hopes to keep scoring more for the club.
The defeat to Valencia, however, dealt a blow to Madrid’s title hopes, with the team needing to bounce back quickly in the coming fixtures.
Former Manchester United player, Jesse Lingard, has revealed that he has mutually agreed to leave FC Seoul and his contract will end. It is reported that he will leave next week.
It can be noted that the footballer joined in February 2024 and has made 66 appearances since then, scoring 18 goals.
The player shared his experience on social media, saying “My time in South Korea has been unbelievable — the football, the atmosphere, and the passion around this club have been top class.”
“The love, support, and appreciation you have shown towards me over these last two years has been truly amazing. I’ll always be grateful for the opportunity to play for such a massive club.”
Former footballer, Rio Ferdinand compares Arsenal star player, Bukayo Saka, to Liverpool’s Mohamed Salah.
When comparing players, he shared that: “When Saka is on it, he looks unplayable,” however he also stated that even with Salah’s stature, he is strong.
He has got the strength like Mohamed Salah. He is small in frame and size when you look at him, but do you ever see him get pushed off the ball?
“You don’t really see people take the ball off him or put him on his arse. He is a strong little guy.”
Former Chelsea player Frank Leboeuf speaks on recent league matches and names two clubs that can really challenge Arsenal this season, Manchester City and Chelsea.
During a recent interview when speaking about Arsenal, he shared “They are still the big favourites [for the title], but they will have to prove it. They lost four points against Sunderland and Chelsea. Manchester City are back, Chelsea are still there.”
“We will have the winter period, which will start very soon, so let’s see,” he said.
