Real Madrid vice-captain Vinicius Jr. has expressed his confidence that the club will capture the Champions League title this season. The Brazilian forward’s declaration represents an ambitious goal for the Spanish giants, who are targeting what would be their record-extending 16th continental trophy and a third consecutive Champions League triumph for Vinicius himself.
The club has struggled domestically over the past two seasons without winning major silverware, with Barcelona dominating La Liga competition. Real Madrid’s most recent significant trophy came in 2024 when they won both the Champions League and La Liga, with Vinicius playing a crucial role by scoring in the European final against Borussia Dortmund.
Ahead of the team’s opening league phase match against Inter Milan on Tuesday, Vinicius emphasized that his squad is prepared for the challenge ahead. He acknowledged that the club has underperformed in European competition recently but believes this season will prove different. The forward highlighted Inter as a formidable opponent, noting their physical strength and defensive organization as potential obstacles for Real Madrid to overcome.
Despite squad absences and midfield limitations compared to their previous championship campaigns, Vinicius expressed optimism about the connection between players and supporters at the Bernabéu. He stressed that winning the Champions League represents the club’s primary objective for the season.
