In the first leg of the Champions League semi-finals, Real Madrid played Manchester City at home. In a rather passive situation, Vinicius opened the scoring for Real Madrid with a long-range shot into the world wave.
In the first 35 minutes of the game, Manchester City had 67% possession and had 12 shots on goal, while Real Madrid had just one. However, Real Madrid took advantage of a quick counter-attack to score first, Camavinga burst into the box to split the ball, and Vinicius scored with a powerful shot in front of the box.
Legendary winger Wadel commented, "What a wonderful goal! Perfect goal! It's a wonderful shot you can't save! ”
It was Real Madrid's second shot and first on target, and it was Vinicius' first long-range goal in the Champions League, having done 14 of his previous shots in the box.
This is a continuation of Vinicius' recent form, with eight goals and five assists in the last 10 Champions League games, and four goals and 10 assists in the last 11 games in all competitions.
In the knockout stages of the Champions League, Vinicius has scored seven goals, all of which were against England, five against Liverpool and two against Manchester City.
It was the 15th Champions League goal scored by Vinicius at 22 years and 301 days, making him the third youngest South American player to score 15 goals in the Champions League in history, behind Messi and Rodrigo.
It was also the first time Camavinga had provided an assist in a Champions League knockout stage, and after playing 24 Champions League knockout matches, Camavinga finally provided an assist.
