Vinicius Junior has certainly been enjoying a lively Christmas, rubbing shoulders with some of the biggest names in the world.

Fresh off his FIFA Best Player award win in Qatar, the Real Madrid star has been making headlines both on and off the field this holiday season.

At 24, Vinícius kicked off his celebrations by catching up with WNBA star Angel Reese in Miami. The footballer was seen courtside at the NBA’s Christmas Day game, ensuring he had a prime seat at Madison Square Garden.

But the true highlight came post-game, when the Brazilian winger met up with global superstar and one of the richest musicians, Rihanna, in New York. The two posed for a photo, both beaming with joy, which sent fans into a frenzy.

Despite the festive season, Vinícius hasn’t had much time to relax. Alongside his meeting with Rihanna, he also snapped pictures with NBA legends like Carmelo Anthony and rising star Victor Wembanyama.

Meanwhile, Vinícius has been in sensational form for Real Madrid, with 8 goals and 5 assists in just 14 La Liga appearances. As the Spanish title race heats up, he will return to action for Los Blancos on January 3, when they face Valencia.
