Vinicius Junior’s brace propelled Real Madrid to a comfortable 4-2 triumph over Osasuna, but his booking means he’ll miss the upcoming league fixture before their clash against Manchester City in the Champions League.
With the international break and a league-free weekend due to the Spanish Cup final, Real Madrid has just one more La Liga match remaining before facing City, and Vinicius will sit out due to suspension from first-half dissent, marking his 31st yellow card in three seasons.
Despite the impending absence, Vinicius made a significant impact, initiating Real Madrid’s dominance early on. His opportunistic goal, seizing possession from Alejandro Catena and coolly finishing past Sergio Herrera, set the tone for Carlo Ancelotti’s side.
Vinicius’s composed diagonal run and precise finish showcased his current form and confidence in front of goal.
