Vinicius Junior said he is happy with his role at Real Madrid, insisting he just wants the LaLiga giants to win.

Madrid teenager Vinicius has impressed in his first season at the Santiago Bernabeu, making 10 league appearances, though only four have been as a starter.

The 18-year-old Brazilian winger was in the starting line-up for Sunday's 4-2 victory against Espanyol.

Asked whether he considers himself a starter, former Flamengo star Vinicius told reporters post-match: "No, I just arrived not long ago.

"I am playing more and I'm happy.

"I want Real Madrid to win and whoever is the best player will play.
