Vinicius Junior’s new look was first seen by Real Madrid during the 2023 Beautiful Game friendly in Orlando.
For their second year together, Brazilian icons Ronaldinho and Roberto Carlos organized a summer match in the USA that featured current and former football players as well as influencers and celebrities.
Vinicius interrupted his summer vacation to play a cameo for both sides as Ronaldinho’s R10 team defeated Carlos’ RC3 setup 4-3.
On a lively evening in Florida, goals from Jay Jay Okocha and an outstanding performance from Rivaldo set the tone before Vini set up former Barcelona player Patrick Kluivert to give Ronaldinho’s team the lead.
After Vinicius scored a cheeky goal, Cafu and Lucas Moura both scored goals. At halftime, the teams switched sides, and during halftime, players stopped to sign shirts and take selfies with the adoring fans at Exploria Stadium.
Vinicius is scheduled to return to Madrid on July 19. He will reunite with the Los Blancos team later in the month, having most likely already left for their preseason tour of the United States.
