Vinicius Junior Matches Ronaldo's Assist Record at UCL

On Wednesday night, Real Madrid winger Vinicius Junior equaled the assist record previously held by Cristiano Ronaldo during a Champions League Round of 16 first leg match against Manchester City, which ended in a 3-0 victory for Real Madrid. The match took place at the Santiago Bernabeu, where Fede Valverde's hat trick secured the win against Pep Guardiola's side.

Vinicius Junior has now reached a total of 31 assists in the Champions League, placing him as a joint top assist man in Real Madrid's history alongside Ronaldo, who left the club to join Juventus in 2018. Vinicius will aim to lead Real Madrid to further victories as they prepare to face Elche in La Liga over the weekend.
