Real Madrid attacker Vinicius proud of double in victory at Shakhtar Donetsk

Real Madrid attacker Vinicius Junior was delighted with victory at Shakhtar Donetsk.

Real won 5-0 in their Champions League clash in Ukraine.

Afterwards, two-goal Vinicius said: "I always try for dribbles like that and they usually come off for me... but to pull it off in a big match can be harder to do.

"I'm still 21, there's lots of time for me to grow into a great player, but I'm working hard so that even if sometimes things don't come off for me other moments will. I've scored seven times this season, better than the last season, and that's important.

"I love playing in pressure matches, that's natural to me. But the trust and confidence this coach has shown in me is important too."
