Real Madrid star Vinicius Junior appeared in a press statement following the 3-2 victory over Atletico Madrid in the 29th round of the Spanish League at the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium.

The Brazilian star said: "Thank you very much. I am very happy with the match we played. We controlled it from the start, but we conceded a goal. However... we are improving and working hard for matches like this. So that Real Madrid fans leave today very happy with the win and the goals. So that the fans truly enjoy it. Because it's a derby match, and Real Madrid always wins."

He added: "The team's performance? The credit goes to everyone: the coach, the players, and the fans. For all the work we did during the week. We went to Manchester, won, and defended well. Then here, where we had a very clear game plan from the start. That's what made the difference."

He continued, "I am very happy because I worked all season for matches like these. When this time of year comes... I don't know what happens to me, but I always improve. I always score and assist goals. This is our role as players. The president always asks me to score two goals, and today I scored two goals for him."

He concluded about the international break that comes at the best time for the team: "Unfortunately... isn't it? It would have been better to continue, not to stop, because we are on a good winning streak. But we got busy with the national teams... I hope everyone returns safe and sound. Because the most important part of the season is coming, I hope to return from the break without injuries. Let's go!"
