Alarming Vinícius Jr. stat surfaces after Real Madrid struggles in Real Betis defeat | OneFootball

A head-turning statistic surrounding the efforts of Real Madrid star Vinícius Jr. across the season to date has on Saturday evening come to the fore online.

This comes after an altogether underwhelming performance on the part of the Brazilian earlier today.

Real Madrid, of course, are fresh off an outing to forget.

After making the trip to Seville for a La Liga meeting with Real Betis, Los Blancos found themselves condemned to the wrong side of a 2-1 result.

As much has dealt a considerable blow to the title hopes of Carlo Ancelotti’s troops, who could find themselves three points adrift of arch rivals Barcelona in the standings by tomorrow night.

En route to what marked a fourth La Liga defeat of the campaign for Real Madrid, a whole host of the club’s most high-profile stars flattered to deceive.

None, though, struggled to make his presence felt more than the aforementioned Vinícius Jr.

Wide-man Vinícius was time and time again shut out by a relentless Real Betis backline, left looking bereft of ideas as a result.

And such woes on the part of the 24-year-old, as alluded to above, have since given rise to an altogether noteworthy individual statistic.

As revealed by statisticians StatMuse, Vinícius has been the only Real Madrid player responsible for losing more than 10 duels in a single La Liga fixture this season.

Not only that, but he has done so, including today, on four separate occasions.
