French great Thierry Henry has lauded Vinicius Junior’s impressive form following Real Madrid’s commanding 5-1 win over Salzburg in the Champions League.
The Brazilian forward of Cameroonian descent delivered a stellar performance, scoring two crucial goals that not only secured his team’s victory but also earned him a spot in the Team of the Week.
Speaking on Vinicius’ rise, Henry said, “Yes, you have to give him that, consistency. To do one thing for one season is something, but he keeps on doing it.”
