Vinicius, Man Of The Champions League Match
Vinicius Junior, the Spanish Real Madrid player, was chosen as the best player in his team's match against Bayern Munich in the second leg of the Champions League semi-finals. The technical supervisory committee of the European Football Association (UEFA) said: “His shots were a threat that gave Real Madrid confidence in winning. His style in the match was infectious and his many 1-on-1 situations helped create the most important first goal for the home team.” Real Madrid was able to reach the final to face Borussia Dortmund, after defeating Bayern Munich 2-1 in the second leg, after the two teams tied 2-2 in the first leg in Germany. Vinicius scored Real Madrid's first goal after he shot a powerful ball that bounced off goalkeeper Manuel Neuer and substitute Joselu completed it into the net.
