Vinicius Jr scored the opening goal in Sunday’s Clasico between Barcelona and Real Madrid and in doing so stole a bit of modern history from a vaunted opponent.
The young Brazil international broke into the penalty box, freezing Gerard Pique and bundled home a shot via a deflection from the vastly experienced ex-Manchester United man, leaving Marc-Andre ter Stegen helpless in the Blaugrana goal.
The winger became the youngest person to score a goal in Spain’s most famous fixture in the 21st century, replacing Lionel Messi, who bagged a hat-trick in 2007.
