‘We practice a lot’ – Vinicius explains why it was ‘easy’ to score against Bayern Munich in Real Madrid’s draw

Vinicius Junior said it was “easy” to score the opening goal of Tuesday’s Champions League semi-final first leg against Bayern Munich because of the pass from Toni Kroos that set it up.

“Toni always makes things easy,” Vinicius told host broadcaster Movistar. “He gifted me a goal. We practice a lot together in training.

“I know Toni very well, and he knows me. I’m very happy to have scored two goals. Now we need a magic night at home.”

In the twenty-fourth minute, Vini broke the tie and became the fourth player in the history of the Champions League—after Jari Litmanen, Cristiano Ronaldo, and Kevin De Bruyne—to score a goal in the semifinals in three consecutive seasons.

Finishing calmly, he put his right foot past the charging Manuel Neuer.
