The stats don't lie: Vinicius' 20 almost perfect minutes

The Brazilian was only on the pitch for around 20 minutes (if you include added time), but he managed to have a huge impact on the result.

It was his errant shot that was deflected in off Kiko Olivas for the game's opening goal, with it having previously looked a though it was going to be one of those days in front of goal for the European champions.

Vinicius was everything Real Madrid have lack of late: positive, bright, direct and fearless.

Interim boss Santiago solari admitted to having told the 18-year-old to face up his marker and drive at them as often as possible before sending him on and Vinicius did just that.

The stats from the game speak of an almost perfect display. Vinicius touched the ball 11 times, tried 11 passes and completed them all.

The starlet also made one recovery and lost the ball just once, the only blot on an otherwise spotless copybook.

Solari knows what the Samba star is capable of having managed him with Castilla and whilst he needs time to develop fully from a tactical and technical point of view, there is no reason why he cannot continue to have an impact in the here and now.
