Real Madrid star Vinícius Jr. has on Tuesday secured for himself a piece of European football history. Real Madrid are of course currently locked in action on the continent, in a Champions League clash with Kazakh outfit Kairat. Fresh off a Madrid Derby humiliation at the hands of Atlético over the weekend, Xabi Alonso opted to heavily alter his XI for the evening. The 25-year-old, responsible for a brilliant assist in the derby, joined Franco Mastantuono and Kylian Mbappé in a talent-packed frontline. And as alluded to above, in the process of taking to the pitch on Tuesday, ‘Viní’ etched his name into the history books.
