After a generational campaing during 2021/22, Vinicius Jr. has found it difficult to maintain similar stocks this season around.

Despite that, though, he has six goals and three assists in 17 games in the league, and remains Madrid’s second-most prolific contributor in terms of goal contributions.

His importance to Carlo Ancelotti’s side cannot be understated. And with Los Blancos trailing Barcelona by six points right now, the next few fixtures become all-the-more important.

Madrid take on Real Sociedad tomorrow night in a second vs third fixture, but the spotlight will be on Vinicius, who is on four yellow cards in the league right now. Another booking tomorrow could see him miss the clash against Valencia on Thurdsday.

Should Vini pick up another yellow card this season, it would be his second season in a row with a suspension. He picked up six yellows last season, but has already racked up four this season, averaging one every four games.

The Brazilian has the highest number of bookings in the Madrid squad, with Luka Modric, Daniel Carvajal, David Alaba, and Eduardo Camavinga trailing him with three each.
