Vinicius Jr's Stunning Goal, Modric's Magic, and Real Madrid's Thrilling Triumph Over Levante Uncovered!

There’s something electric buzzin’ through Real Madrid these days—and it ain’t just their perfect run in LaLiga . Against a struggling Levante squad, Los Blancos not only secured a commanding 4-1 victory but did so with flair that left fans talkin’. The headline? Vinicius Junior, inspired by none other than Luka Modric’s masterful playmaking legacy, unleashed a jaw-droppin’ strike that echoed the brilliance of the Croatian maestro. Watching that outside-right-foot finish curl perfectly into the far corner was a moment that’ll linger long in the memory. Oh, and let’s not overlook the Argentinian youngster Franco Mastantuono, who’s making his presence felt with a stunning goal that doubles Madrid’s lead and adds fresh fire to this young squad. Kylian Mbappe popped up too, executing a cheeky Panenka penalty before finishing off the match in style. Xabi Alonso’s men now sit five points clear atop LaLiga, maintaining an unblemished slate in this campaign’s opening weeks—talk about setting the bar high. If you ask me, the team’s unity and defensive grit, praised so highly by Vinicius himself, means Real Madrid’s sights are locked firmly on lifting silverware once again. Expect big things from this group, because if this performance is anything to go by, the journey’s just getting started. LEARN MORE

Vinicius Junior says former Real Madrid playmaker Luka Modric inspired his superb strike against Levante as Los Blancos increased their lead at the top of LaLiga to five points and extended their perfect start to the season to seven matches in all competitions with a 4-1 win at fifth-bottom Levante on Tuesday.

Brazil winger Vinicius Junior used the outside of his right foot to find the far corner of the net from inside the box on the right as Madrid took a 28th-minute lead at the Estadio Ciudad de Valencia, where Franco Mastantuono struck after a surging run to double their advantage seven minutes before the break.

Etta Eyong headed a 54th-minute reply but Kylian Mbappe converted a Panenka penalty in the 64th minute and charged through to slot in and complete the scoring two minutes later.

“Luka Modric taught me,” Vinicius Junior told RMTV of his goal (via AS), namechecking the Croatia legend who won LaLiga four times and the Champions League on six occasions before leaving Madrid after 13 years to join Milan in July.

“I’m very good at it. I hope to continue scoring like this. It’s one of the most beautiful shots I’ve ever made.”
