"Don’t play with him. On my mother’s life, he is playing against us”
Three years is a long time in football, and Vini Jr is no longer the butt of Karim Benzema's joke.
He's a full-fledged star and maybe, the best left winger in the world.

From 8 goals in his first 82 La Liga games to 17 in 35 last season. Vini Jr has arrived. And it’s not just about the goals, there’s a deeper connection there too.
When Real Madrid fans returned to the Bernabeu after 560 days, it was Vini who leapt into the crowd to embrace them. Once that kind of bond is formed it’s tough to break.
He's done the hard yards. Dropped into a post-Champions League treble comedown at 18. But his time is now, and the sky is the limit. “Vini! Vini! Vini!” rings around the Bernabeu.
And now, it's his own quote that is the dominant narrative. "Better not to put any price on me, it is better for me to stay here at Real Madrid”.
