One Real Madrid star made La Liga history with attacking performance vs Leganés | OneFootball

Real Madrid star Vinícius Jr. produced a statline not seen in La Liga since the turn of the decade during the club’s meeting with Leganés this evening.

Carlo Ancelotti’s Real of course marked their return to action a short time ago, making the short trip across the capital for a derby clash with Leganés.

Wide-man Vinícius, as expected, was made use of from the off at The Estadio Municipal de Butarque, joining Kylian Mbappé and Arda Güler in a talent-packed frontline.

And, over the course of the 90 minutes, the Brazilian dazzled once more.

So much so that, as alluded to above, Vinícius secured for himself a piece of history.

The 24-year-old managed to rack up more chances created (5), more successful take-ons (5), more fouls won (5), more duels won (10) and more touches in the opposition penalty area (14) than any other player on the pitch this evening.

As revealed by statisticians StatMuse:

‘He is the first player to put up those numbers in a single LaLiga game this decade.’
