Numbers Leave Salah K.O. against Vinícius, the Brazilian Won't Hand over the Crown

Despite what his critics say, Vinícius Jr. keeps proving he's the best in the world

The present belongs to Real Madrid, as they have the world's best player, Vinícius Jr., who in recent weeks has achieved great recognition.

These awards, The Best and the Globe Soccer, made the Brazilian the most acclaimed at the Alfredo Di Stéfano stadium.

The player enjoyed a warm reception from the fans who attended the last training session of 2024 led by Carlo Ancelotti.

"It's a very important day for us and for the fans on the last day of the year. These things give us very good energy," expressed Vinícius Jr. on RMTV.

Additionally, the Brazilian assured that "I'm very happy for the recognition from the fans, who give us the strength we need. I hope we're at our best."

They don't stop

However, Real Madrid doesn't stop and is already thinking about the match against Valencia, a rival they will face on January 3.

In this match at Mestalla, Vinícius Jr. hopes to reach 100 goals with the white club.

The carioca, who couldn't be in the match against Sevilla due to suspension, is confident in showing great performance against the Valencians.

Additionally, the '7' wants to silence some voices that even dare to put Salah above him, something the data denies.

Vinícius Jr., according to DataMB, has a dribble success rate of 95.6, while his combined goals and assists rate is 99, key passes 94.4, and attacking actions 94.9, all achieved in 1,166 minutes in the 2024-2025 season.

Meanwhile, the Egyptian has a dribble success rate of 56.9, while his combined goals and assists rate is 98.8, key passes 89.8, and attacking actions 76, all achieved in 1,544 minutes in the 2024-2025 season.
