Vini Jr. was instrumental in Real Madrid’s win over Osasuna, grabbing a hat-trick at the Santiago Bernabéu. After the clash, the Brazilian had the following to say: “Today, we played very well, which we haven't been doing in the last few games. But I'm also sad for MilitãoRodrygo and Lucas. It's a shame that it's happened to us so many times this season. Hopefully, we can stick together for them and they can come back as soon as possible. I'm very pleased with the goals, but I feel sad that Militão has to go through that again.”

“I've been feeling very good since the last break, when I was able to be in Madrid because of the injury. I've recovered well and I feel that I'm at my best. I have to continue like this to help the team like I did last season. Hopefully, we can win plenty of trophies for the Madridistas.”

The best performance of the season
“For sure. The coach has found the solution and the players have put into practice what he's told us and what we've been training these last few days. I think we have to continue like this, compact and together to achieve great things this season.”

Team commitment
“It's always about the rhythm of the game. We started well and strong from the whistle. We have to play like that because then things turn out well.”

Modrić has been teaching me since I came here. I practice every training session and I'm getting better every day. I hope I can provide a lot of assists like that.”
