Mourinho Confirms Vinícius Júnior's Start Against Leipzig
Real Madrid manager José Mourinho has indicated that Vinícius Júnior is likely to start in the UEFA Champions League match against RB Leipzig on October 21, 2026. Vinícius is available for this European fixture despite receiving a four-match suspension in La Liga due to his dismissal in a match against Villarreal.
This suspension means he will miss several domestic league matches, including the significant El Clásico against Barcelona. Mourinho expressed confidence in Vinícius’ potential to feature from the start, stating, “Without promising anything, I think he will start in the Champions League on Wednesday.” He also encouraged Vinícius to utilize his absence from domestic games to enhance his training and performance.
Mourinho aims for his team to replicate their strong performance against Sevilla in their last league match when they face Barcelona.
