Vinicius Jr announced his return from injury in emphatic style, scoring a crucial goal as Real Madrid triumphed 3-2 over Atalanta in a thrilling Champions League encounter in Italy.

The Brazilian forward, who has been in sensational form this season, wasted no time in reminding fans of his immense talent and importance to Los Blancos.

Before being sidelined by an injury against Leganes on November 24, Vinicius was on a blistering run of form, netting 10 goals in just eight matches. His pre-injury exploits included a hat-trick each against Borussia Dortmund and Osasuna, as well as goals against Milan, Celta Vigo, and Villarreal.

This latest goal takes his tally for the season to 13 goals and seven assists in just 19 appearances across all competitions—a phenomenal record that highlights his growth as one of Real Madrid’s key attacking threats.

Vinicius Jr’s return couldn’t have come at a better time for Real Madrid, as they push to maintain their dominance domestically and in Europe. With his electric pace, sharp finishing, and creative flair, the Brazilian is poised to play a pivotal role in the club’s pursuit of silverware this season.

Real Madrid fans will undoubtedly be thrilled to see their star winger back and firing on all cylinders, as he continues to establish himself as one of the best forwards in world football.
