The Brazilian forward gave Barcelona’s Hector Fort a hard time after coming on, despite having been at a Travis Scott concert in Madrid 48 hours earlier.

The capricious weather in New Jersey was not the only disruptive element in the Clásico between Real Madrid and FC Barcelona. After an interruption of more than an hour, it was Vinicius who caused trouble for the Blaugranas. Coming into play in the 57th minute, the Brazilian prodigy immediately gave a breath of fresh air to a Real Madrid that has been searching for its bearings since the start of pre-season.

With Nico Paz scoring the first goal of this new campaign after 172 minutes of play, Vinicius’s entry was the other breath of fresh air for Carlo Ancelotti’s men. The player, known for his flair and audacity, multiplied his threatening incursions, narrowly missing scoring himself.
