Another chance for Vinicius
Vinicius' performance against Manchester City in the Champions League attracted praise, which means he could be making a comeback in this Sunday's El Clasico against Barcelona.
Real Madrid are back in the Santiago Bernabeu for this Sunday's El Clasico. After a defeat to Levante (1-0) and a draw to Celta (2-2), Zinedine Zidane's team will be looking to get back on top of the LaLiga table.
There is no margin for error and even more so after the Champions League defeat to City. However, Vinicius has showed up as a little brim of hope. The Brazilian's great performance against City wowed fans, assisting Isco for Madrid's only goal of the night.
Additionally, it was his exit than lowered the team's level. When the former Flamengo player left the field, Guardiola's men turned the match around (1-2).
Hazard's injury has left a spot in the squad, and his good performances may allow him to be back in the starting eleven against Barça, which would be his fourth Clasico.
The numer 25 knows that oppportunities such as this one don't come very often, which is why he will be looking to impress Zidane.
His enviable speed, ability to create chances and one-on-one talent have made him stand-out and could be great attributes against a weakened Barcelona.
Bale, who hardly had any importance against City, seems to have lost his spot to the Brazilian, although it's the coach who will make the final decision.
