Real Madrid attacker Vincius Jr: I'm the matchwinner!

Real Madrid attacker Vincius Jr insists he was their matchwinner for victory at Sevilla.

The Brazilian was one of Real Madrid's best players on Saturday, and played a key part in the winning goal, despite it being marked down as a Bono own goal.

"It's mine," Vinicius said after the match. "Of course it is.

"I hit the shot and the goal is mine."

Three points away at Sevilla don't come easily, and the win was desperately needed by Zinedine Zidane's men.

"It's an important victory for our confidence," Vinicius added. "There have been other games in which we've played well but not won.

"We don't doubt ourselves at all and we went out to win. It's a different season from others.

"We have a game every three days and sometimes it's hard to get going. We have to keep on improving."
