Vinicius Junior had a brilliant performance against Barca in the Spanish Super Cup final. The Brazilian striker scored a hat-trick in the first half to help Real Madrid have a significant advantage over Barca
In the end, Real Madrid beat Barca 4-1 and won the Spanish Super Cup. Vinicius’ performance alone was scored by Sofascore with a maximum score of 10 points.
Vinicius had a Ronaldo-style “Siu” celebration when opening the score for Real Madrid in the 6th minute. This was Vinicius’ first goal since he suffered a hamstring injury in November.
After the match, Vinicius shared about his celebration: “I celebrated in Siu style for Cristiano Ronaldo. He is my idol.
I am so happy. We are doing special things at Real Madrid. The Saudi people also always show their love to me.”
After recreating Ronaldo’s “Siu” celebration, Vinicius also celebrated in a different style similar to CR7. It’s a celebration of pointing at yourself and then pointing at the ground, meaning “I’m here”. That celebration was full of arrogance but completely appropriate after Vinicius scored a hat-trick against a top team like Barcelona.
With such a great performance, the best player of the match award cannot easily slip out of the Brazilian star’s hands.
After winning their first title this season, Real Madrid will aim to reclaim the top spot in La Liga. Ancelotti’s army dropped to 2nd place after Girona won points in this round.
