The Brazilian star Vinicius Junior shone remarkably in the match against Espanyol, leading Real Madrid to victory by scoring both goals in the 34th round of the Spanish League competition.

Vinicius said in his speech: "It was a good match, we fought and played together, and when we play this way, we become better and stronger."

He added: "I had the opportunity to score two goals and help the team, and that's always the most important thing. We worked well throughout the week and were confident of delivering a great match, which we did. Now we have to think about the next match, El Clasico, which is a big encounter."

He added: "We must continue in this manner because we are a very strong group. We know the season hasn't gone as we wanted, but we have the opportunity to change things in every match in preparation for the next season. I am confident we will return to the top, as this is what the club needs, and we cannot back down."

Regarding the Clasico against Barcelona, he said: "We need to have another good week to be ready to compete and play as we did today. It's a match we love to play, and we hope to prepare well for it. We want to win here too."

He concluded about reaching 20 or more goals in the last 5 seasons: "I have worked hard every year to reach this number of goals, to achieve titles, and to play in matches like these."
