Real Madrid coach Zinedine Zidane was delighted with two goal Vinicius Junior after their Champions League defeat of Liverpool.

"I'm happy for him because he needed to score, like Marco [Asensio] or Karim [Benzema] do," Zidane said on Vinicius.

"He's playing well, he's helping the team and he gets a boost by scoring a goal.

"Vini was lacking goals and he's going to gain a lot of confidence from today.

"He deserves it.

"I don't know if it was his best game [at Real Madrid], but two goals in a quarter final is something very important."
