Supporters of La Liga giants Real Madrid have on Saturday moved to lavish praise on a member of the club’s attacking ranks.
The player in question? Vinícius Jr.
Real Madrid are of course currently locked in action.
Turning focus back towards matters on the domestic front, Los Blancos have welcomed Villarreal to Spain’s capital, for a La Liga clash.
And as things stand, it is the aforementioned Vinícius who stands as match-winner.
The Brazilian was responsible for both of his side’s goals to this point in proceedings, first directing a deflected effort in at the near post, before slotting home from the penalty spot.
*Update* – Kylian Mbappé has since made it 3-1.
Vinícius’ performance, though, has been so much more than simply his goals.
The 25-year-old has terrorised Villarreal’s backline throughout the 90 minutes, courtesy of touch, explosive pace, mazy dribbling and relentless intent.
And such endeavours have not gone at all unappreciated on the part of the Real Madrid faithful, many of whom have moved to heap deserved praise on their side’s attacking star:
