Rodrygo Goes Plays Down Talk of Vinicius Jr. Rivalry: 'He Has Helped Me a Lot'

Real Madrid youngster Rodrygo Goes has said there's no rivalry between himself and compatriot Vinicius Jr. at the Santiago Bernabeu.

The Brazilian wingers arrived at Los Blancos in big-money transfers the last two summers, respectively, with each player tipped to have a bright future in the game.

With the likes of Eden Hazard, Gareth Bale and Lucas Vazquez available to manager Zinedine Zidane, getting regular minutes in the first team will be challenging for both players this term.

Rodrygo has said Vinicius has been a big help for him since arriving in the Spanish capital in the summer, per Intensive Esporte (h/t Virtudes Sanchez of Marca).
