Vinícius Júnior’s star in the Brazilian team leads the Spanish newspaper to pressure Real Madrid for a new contract
Striker Vinícius Júnior shone brightly in the Brazilian team’s recent victory over Scotland, by a score of 3-0. The player was the big name of the match, finding the net twice, while Matheus Cunha completed the result, in a match played last Wednesday (24), in Miami.

At 25 years old, the talented striker has a contract with the Spanish team until June 2027, and the question of his permanence gains urgency. The AS article, by launching a poll for its readers on the need for renewal, amplifies the pressure on the Real Madrid board, transforming Vini Jr’s performance into a direct debate about his future.
The Spanish media highlighted that Real Madrid faces a “pleasant problem”: the need to extend Vinícius Júnior’s agreement, preferably before Brazil’s next game at the World Cup. The publication highlighted that, in the duel against Scotland, the player “created a spectacle of goals, typical of those reserved only for football’s elite”.
Vinícius Júnior’s undisputed leadership in the Brazilian team
Since the start of the 2026 World Cup, Vinícius Júnior has stood out notably in the national team. In just three clashes, the striker has already accumulated four goals, consolidating himself as the main articulator on the field under the guidance of coach Carlo Ancelotti.
The Spanish newspaper described the Real Madrid athlete as the “representation of a solid Brazilian team in defense, with a cohesive midfield and a powerful attack”, when analyzing the player’s performance.
Spectacular performance and the curious prophecy of the visionary Vó Baiana
In view of the impressive performance of the number 7, the newspaper Marca mentioned the “forecast” of the psychic Vó Baiana, who anticipated an alien invasion in the game to kidnap some players. Despite this, the daily highlighted that Vinícius Júnior’s performance was truly extraordinary.
The publication mentioned that the Scottish fans even celebrated, waiting for the Brazilian fortune teller’s prophecy, which spoke about Raticulín’s spaceships abducting athletes like Vini Jr and Neymar, to come true. However, the event did not occur, and the vehicle concluded that, although Vinícius is “stratospheric”, he remains “down to earth”.
