While departure rumors circulate about Vinicius Jr, the number 7 of the Merengues has for the first time in his career carried the captain's armband on Wednesday evening, during the King's cup semi-final which opposed Real Madrid to Real Sociedad. It is quite natural that Carlo Ancelotti awarded the Capitanat to the Brazilian, the oldest player of the Madrid starting eleven.

“Wearing the armband for the first time is something very special, after so much time spent here and at the age of 24, it is a source of pride for me and my family, after all that we went through to be here, to come to the club of my dreams. I hope I can continue to do it for a long time ”, said Vinicius after the meeting.

International Auriverde added to feel an indescribable emotion to have been captain of the “Best team in the world”:: “I am happy with the team, to be able to enter a Cup semi-final as captain of the largest club in the world, it is something inexplicable. I live it, it is something that I have never dreamed or imagined…. In the next match, I will have played 300 and I am already thinking of 400 and 500, I want to enter the history of this club. »»
