Vinicius Junior said he was eyeing Ronaldo Nazario's record as Brazil's most goals at Real Madrid, after he scored his 100th goal for the club in a 5-1 win in the Champions League over RB Salzburg on Thursday, January 23, 2025, early morning WIB.
Rodrygo's two goals - one of which came from Jude Bellingham's brilliant pass - put Madrid 2-0 up in the first half at the Santiago Bernabeu.
Kylian Mbappe added a third goal. Vinicius scored two goals to complete the win and ensure Real Madrid got a place in the playoffs for the knockout phase.
Vinicius has now scored 101 goals for Real Madrid in all competitions. The collection saw him approach Brazilian legend Ronaldo Nazario, who scored 104 goals in five years in Bernabeu between 2002 and 2007.
"I'm happy to score with this shirt. I'm three goals adrift of Ronaldo Nazario, being the Brazilian with the most goals with this shirt. Hopefully I can score more goals," Vinicius told Movistar after the game.
Vinicius has won two Champions Leagues - scored in both finals - with Real Madrid and three La Liga titles.
He was shocked to learn that he had been named MVP in the match against Salzburg.
