Everyone is talking about the message Vinícius Júnior received after what happened with Levante: 'What a g...'

Real Madrid emerged victorious from their visit to Ciutat de València thanks to an unexpected protagonist. Vinícius Júnior, who had been going through some difficult weeks, delivered his best performance of the season with a spectacular goal. He earned the applause of Madridists and received a completely unexpected message after the match.

The "7" opened the scoring with a beautiful outside-foot shot, reminiscent of Luka Modric's finest strikes. The goal lifted the team and set them on the right path in a tough match against a Levante team that never gave up. Thanks to that great goal, Vinícius Júnior seems to have regained his smile.

Vinícius Júnior explains who taught him to shoot like that

Vinícius Júnior's performance didn't go unnoticed by the fans or his teammates. On social media, he was trending for hours, and messages of support poured in from all corners of the soccer world. His outside-foot goal was the most talked-about moment of the day.

In fact, after the match, Vini was asked about that strike and he didn't hide who he had learned it from. "Luka Modric has taught me how to score these goals, we miss him." Without a doubt, some very touching words from the Brazilian, who received a response just a few hours later.

Luka Modric, teacher and role model

The Croatian was, for many years, the one responsible for perfecting that outside-foot technique. On countless occasions, he used that skill to assist or score crucial goals, making it his trademark. Now Luka Modric has passed on his legacy.

Vinícius Júnior used his technique against Levante and the first to congratulate him was Luka Modric. The Croatian, who now wears Milan's jersey, didn't want to miss the chance to acknowledge the beauty of the goal. "What a goal, brother," he wrote to him on social media.

A turning point for Vinícius Júnior

For Vinícius, this goal could be much more than an isolated flash. After weeks of criticism, time on the bench, and rumors, his performance against Levante could mark a turning point in his season. The Brazilian needed a match like this to regain confidence and feel decisive again.

Xabi Alonso knows it and hopes that the "7" keeps this level in the upcoming fixtures. Real Madrid celebrates the best version of their star, and Modric's gesture reinforces the importance of a goal that could relaunch Vinícius's career at Bernabéu. With the Brazilian at this level, nothing is impossible.
