Real Madrid attacker Vinicius Junior happy to score in victory over Celta Vigo

Real Madrid attacker Vinicius Junior was happy to score in their 4-1 rout of Celta Vigo.

The win was achieved with the backdrop of Casemiro's sale to Manchester United.

"I'm thrilled with the performance, the desire, focus and composure we showed. It was a very tough fixture, it gives us great confidence heading into the next game," said Vinicius Jr.

“Luka and Karim's quality gives us that sense of calm and allowed us to play much better. Celta were stronger in the first half but we prepared for it better after the break.

“I always watch videos of Ronaldo and he talks to me too, he tells me that it's easier like that when you're through one-on-one. I stayed calm and Modrić's sublime pass meant I could find the net."
