Vinicius Jr believes he is in top form right now despite facing injuries earlier in the season.

The Brazilian has been having a strong campaign with Real Madrid, scoring 17 goals and providing 12 assists in 35 matches across all competitions. In La Liga alone, he has netted nine times and assisted seven in 20 games.

Speaking ahead of Real Madrid’s Champions League clash with Atlético Madrid, he acknowledged the challenges of maintaining peak performance throughout a long season.

“I’m at my best right now,” he said. “With so many games, you can’t always be at 100%. Playing 80 matches a season, sometimes you’re not fully fit, and many players play through injuries.”

He added that the pressure to perform is always high, but he embraces it. “People expect a lot from me, but now is the most important part of the season, and at Madrid, we always step up when it matters.”

Real Madrid secured a narrow 2-1 win over Atlético Madrid in the Champions League first-leg clash at the Santiago Bernabéu. However, they suffered a 2-1 loss to Real Betis in La Liga over the weekend.

Former footballer Paul Scholes condemns Martin Odegaard and speaks on his performance in the Arsenal team.

The football legend shared how it is the captain that is bringing the team down, as he is not playing his position properly “That game on Saturday [Arsenal vs Newcastle], I didn’t see all of it, I probably saw the first half an hour, but I think Odegaard is a big problem for them.”

“I love Odegaard, I think he’s brilliant. Technically, he’s great, but he doesn’t play his position properly. Half the time I saw him in the first 20 minutes, he was almost the deepest man.”

Nigerian politician Peter Obi reacts to the viral incident that occurred in Delta State.

It can be noted that Obi is reacting to the clip of a police officer shooting and killing an already restrained suspect.

Obi stated that it was a serious violation and abuse of power “The extrajudicial killing of a young Nigerian in Effurun, Delta State, by a police officer, Mr. Mene Ogidi, is not only barbaric but also a grave violation of the rule of law.

“Over time, human society has moved away from an era when lives could be taken without consequence. Through the evolution of civilisation, a fundamental principle has emerged: no one should be punished or deprived of life without due process and a fair determination of guilt.”
