What did Vinicius Jr say about the 'trivela masterpiece' against Levante?

In Real Madrid's 4-1 victory over Levante, Vinicius Jr was among the most outstanding players on Madrid's side. The Brazilian star netted a spectacular goal using the outside of his foot to put his team ahead.

Real Madrid extended their impressive run by defeating Levante away at Ciudad de Valencia. Although Mbappe earned the highest rating of 9.3 on FotMob thanks to his brace, it was Vinicius who received La Liga's ‘Man of the Match’ award for his unforgettable trivela goal that opened the scoring.

The Spanish Royal Club entered the match determined to secure all three points to strengthen their position at the top of the table. From the opening minutes, Real Madrid dominated the game with intense pressing and effective ball control. Then came the shining moment when Vinícius unleashed a skillful trivela from the right wing, leaving the opposing goalkeeper helpless. That goal not only broke the deadlock but also delivered a huge psychological boost, allowing Madrid to command the game.

After the match, Vinícius Jr expressed his joy in an interview with Realmadrid TV:

“We played very well from the start. This is a tough stadium, but whenever I play here, I always manage to score.”

Speaking about his beautiful goal, Vinícius shared: “Luka Modrić taught me how to shoot like that, and we all miss him a lot. I’m strong with this kind of finish, and I hope to score many more goals like this. It’s one of the best goals I’ve ever scored; I don’t think I’ve ever scored like that before. It was a fantastic shot, and I’m really happy I pulled it off.”

Beyond the goal, the 2000-born player also emphasized his satisfaction with how Real Madrid executed their game plan:

“I’m very pleased with our performance and the win. We played well from the beginning, both in pressing and ball possession. If we keep playing like this, we will keep winning. Levante’s home ground is usually a tough place to play, but every time I come here, I manage to score.”

Amid a packed schedule, Real Madrid will soon face a tense derby against Atletico Madrid this weekend. Vinícius expressed his determination:

“I’m really eager to get on the pitch. Now it’s time to rest and enjoy this victory. I hope the team can perform well in the derby against Atletico Madrid. We’ve won all our matches so far this season, and we want to keep that going until the end to build confidence and win trophies — that’s what matters most.”

When asked about the secret behind Real Madrid’s impressive collective form, Vinícius stressed: “Defense, unity, and team spirit are the key factors. If we maintain this, I believe we will achieve success by the end of the season.”

The win over Levante not only helped Real Madrid maintain their perfect start to the season but also confirmed their status as one of the top title contenders. In this high-performing squad, Vinícius Jr continues to prove he is the brightest star, ready to lead Los Blancos’ attack on their quest for trophies.
