Real Madrid star Vinicius Jr. has, on Saturday, bagged his latest individual prize.
The award in question? Los Blancos’ Player of the Month for March.
As those of a Real persuasion will be well aware, wide-man Vinicius now, of course, represents one of the first names on the team sheet of boss Carlo Ancelotti.
In turn, it came as little surprise to see the 22-year-old afforded starts in all five of his side’s outings this month, seeing out the full 90 minutes in all but one.
Across this stretch, Vinicius played a central role in the capital giants’ pair of victories, too, first levelling things up en route to a comeback downing of Espanyol, before laying on what proved to be the winner in a 1-0 Champions League triumph over Liverpool.
The nail in the coffin!
