Vinicius Puts on Cristiano Ronaldo’s Suit in Arabia, Scores Hat-Trick in Supercopa Final
Vinicius arrived at the Supercopa de España final with a hunger for goals after returning from an injury that left him goalless. In the Clásico, with all eyes on Arabia, the Brazilian turned the game upside down with two goals in ten minutes and a hat-trick just past the half-hour mark.
The first goal came with Bellingham as his partner. The second, with Rodrygo. And the third came from a penalty. Three goals to boost morale, make a statement… and pay tribute to Cristiano Ronaldo.
Vini dressed up as CR7 and at the Al Nasser Stadium, he scored the first goal after taking advantage of a brilliant pass from Bellingham and leaving Iaki Pea behind. The tribute came in the celebration, imitating the iconic celebration that Ronaldo invented at the Santiago Bernabéu and has now taken to Arabia. The local crowd went wild, and three minutes later they were celebrating Vinicius’ second goal. The Brazilian was a thunderstorm at the start of the match.
Cristiano Ronaldo’s son, who was present in the stands as he was in the semifinals, also applauded. CR7’s son has never hidden his love for Real Madrid, having grown up in Madrid watching his father score goals and win European Cups. The local crowd chanted Ronaldo’s name three times after Vinicius’ celebration.
Vinicius, Bellingham, and Rodrygo found themselves facing an advanced Barcelona defense that played into their hands. In a suicidal start by Barça, the Real Madrid forwards found plenty of space to run. It was the scenario in which they are unbeatable, especially in the first ten minutes of the match. 2-0 and the final was on track.
The third goal came when the final was getting complicated for Madrid. Robert Lewandowski had reduced the deficit, but Vinicius once again tilted the balance, this time with a run that brought down Araujo. Penalty and responsibility for the Brazilian, who took it like Neymar. A sideways run, a “paradinha,” and a shot to his safe zone. Hat-trick, his second with the Real Madrid shirt.
Vinicius, who has spent a good part of the season injured, now has nine goals and four assists in the Supercopa final. All this in just 16 matches.
