En 2019, Vinicius marcó ante Osasuna y lloró para soltar toda la presión que tenía por las críticas que estaba recibiendo
Vinicius fue el autor del gol que le dio al Real Madrid la Champions ante el Liverpool en París. El brasileño culminó así la que es su mejor temporada en el club blanco, pero no sólo eso, si no que supuso la consagración definitiva del jugador.
Hasta llegar a ese momento del gol ante el Liverpool, Vinicius no lo ha pasado nada bien. Llegó al Real Madrid en 2018 como una de las grandes promesas del fútbol brasileño. Su juego, su fútbol no tenía cabida en el primer equipo y jugó con el Castilla donde sí demostró toda su calidad. Vinicius pasó al primer equipo y cuando mejor estaba, con Solari en el banquillo, se lesionó ante el Ajax.
A partir de ahí, el brasileño lo pasó mal. Zidane no contaba con él y las críticas sobre su falta de gol, sobre sus malas decisiones a la hora de rematar a puerta eran una constante. Unas criticas que le afectaron y soltó toda la presión que estaba soportando en septiembre de 2019 cuando marcó ante Osasuna y se puso a llorar en el césped del Bernabéu.
Desde aquel mes de septiembre de 2019 hasta ahora, Vinicius ha tenido que ganarse la titularidad. Para Zidane no era titular indiscutible y tampoco para Ancelotti que no hay que olvidar que en los primeros partidos, apostó por Hazard y Bale antes que por Vinicius. El brasileño esperó su oportunidad y la aprovechó al máximo. En cuanto entró en el campo sustituyendo a Hazard, el belga pasó a la suplencia y el brasileño se convirtió en titular indiscutible.
Vinicius ha mejorado mucho en sus decisiones y, sobre todo, en su remate a portería. Ha acabado la temporada con 22 goles y formando una dupla letal con Benzema en la punta del ataque del Real Madrid. En tres años, el brasileño ha pasado de llorar ante Osasuna a entrar en la historia del Real Madrid al marcar el gol que le dio al equipo blanco la Champions número 14.
