Vinicius has so far scored 13 goals and provided nine assists in 20 appearances across competitions. Since making his Real Madrid debut in 2018, the winger has bagged 97 goals and 85 assists in 25 appearances.
Despite only being 24, Vinicius boasts a dazzling trophy cabinet. With Real Madrid, he has won 14 trophies, including two UEFA Champions League and three La Liga titles.
Vinicius and Los Blancos are set to return to action on January 3, taking on Valencia in a La Liga away clash at the Mestalla.
