In great form, Vinicius Junior has reached a historic milestone at Real Madrid, surpassing Cristiano Ronaldo in one key aspect. At just 24 years and 232 days old, Vinicius made his 300th official appearance for the club during a La Liga match against Real Betis. In comparison, Ronaldo reached this mark at 30 during the 2014-15 season.

Signed for €45 million from Flamengo in 2018, Vinicius arrived as a raw talent and has since become a vital player for Real Madrid. He is now the third-youngest player to reach 300 appearances for the club, trailing only Raul Gonzalez (23 years, 154 days) and Iker Casillas (24 years, 165 days).

However, Ronaldo’s goal-scoring record still eclipses Vinicius. By the time Ronaldo played 300 matches, he had an astonishing 313 goals and 85 assists, while Vinicius currently has 102 goals and 76 assists. Ronaldo ultimately finished his Real Madrid career with 450 goals and 131 assists in 438 matches.

Despite the gap in goal production, Vinicius still has time to carve his legacy at Real Madrid, having already played a crucial role in the team’s success. His early milestone highlights his consistency and growing influence in world football.
