Real Madrid’s teenage sensation Vinicius Jr showed exactly why Madrid made the 18-year-old a marquee signing with a great free kick for Real Madrid’s B team Castilla.
Vinicius Jr agreed a transfer to Los Blancos from Brazilian side Flamengo for a fee reported to be £38.7m by BBC Sport. The fee is a record high for a player under the age of 19.

Jr is still very much a raw talent for Madrid and whilst he may not fit in with new manager Julen Lopetegui’s first team plans just yet it is essential that the 18-year-old sharpens his skills as much as possible with Castilla.
