In just the first eight league matches of the season, Vinicius has already been directly involved in nine goals — five scored and four assisted. This equals and surpasses his best starts in previous seasons: seven goal involvements in 2021/22, nine goal involvements in 2022/23, and only two goal involvements in 2024/25.
Remarkably, his first contribution came when he entered the game from the bench at the Carlos Tartiere. Coming on in the 63rd minute, he assisted Mbappe and later scored to cap a commanding win. Against Mallorca, he scored the match-winning goal just before the first international break.
He continued his streak with an assist against Espanyol, a goal and assist against Levante before halftime, and a crucial assist in the derby against Atletico Madrid — a bittersweet moment as Real Madrid suffered defeat. His form peaked with a brace against Villarreal, a match in which he also earned and converted a penalty.
