Real Madrid and Brazil wingers, Vinicius Jr and Rodrygo were unstoppable in the Champions League match played against Salzburg on Wednesday night. The two Brazilian wingers found themselves back of the net twice each as they sturned the visitors 5-1.
Rodrygo (24) opened the scoring for Real Madrid in the first 23 minutes before break through Vinicius Junior’s wayward pass to Jude Bellingham. This meant that the Englishman could only stick out a leg and divert the ball into the path of Rodrygo, who side-footed a tidy finish into the back of the net from a wide angle.
Just 10 minutes later, Rodrygo extended Real Madrid’s lead after scoring a second goal which was far more spectacular fashion, as he met a Bellingham backheel with an unstoppable curling effort from the corner of the penalty area that rifled past Salzburg goalkeeper Janis Blaswich.
Just three minutes after the break, former PSG striker, Kylian Mbappe extended Real Madrid’s lead Salzburg goalkeeper failed to dribble round Mbappe, allowing the Frenchman to dispossess him and tap into an empty net.
Keeping up their 100% hit rate, Vinicius crashed in a fourth goal with Madrid’s fourth shot on target, as the Brazilian raced onto a pinpoint Luka Modric through ball and buried his shot beyond Blaswich. Vini Jr scored his second goal after 20 minutes through the Uruguayan midfielder, Fede Valverde’s through pass.
Real Madrid’s win gave them hope to qualify for the knock out stage since they are now positioned on the 16th place in the Champions League table after played seven matches.
