Vitor Roque levels Real Madrid pair Vinícius Jr. & Kylian Mbappé | OneFootball

A head-turning statistic, surrounding the goalscoring exploits of on-loan Barcelona striker Vitor Roque, has come to the fore in Spain on Saturday evening.

This comes after the Brazilian found the net for Real Betis earlier in the day.

En route to an eventual 2-1 La Liga downing of Osasuna, Roque was afforded a starting berth by boss Manuel Pellegrini.

And the 19-year-old, prior to being hauled off with a fitness problem, made his presence very much felt.

Picked out in the Osasuna penalty area by Aitor Ruibal inside the opening ten minutes, Roque made no mistake with a fine sliding finish into the far corner.

This took the frontman’s tally for the campaign in Spain’s top-flight to two goals, across seven appearances (four starts).

And, as revealed by StatMuse, taking penalty kicks out of the equation, as much has seen Roque level star Real Madrid pair Kylian Mbappé and Vinícius Jr. for La Liga goals in 2024/25:
