Real Madrid (Spain) gained the advantage of advancing to the European Football Federation (UEFA) Champions League quarterfinals with Vinisius Junio’s multi-goal ahead.

Real beat Liverpool (England) 3-1 in the 2020-2021 Champions Quarter Round 1 home game held at Estadio Alfredo di Stefano in Madrid, Spain on the 7th (Korean time). With Vinicius (two goals) and Marco Ascencio scoring, Real beat Liverpool’s chase after Muhammad Salach made up one goal. Liverpool were the finalists when Real won the championship three years ago.

Vinicius, at the age of 20 and 268 days, recorded Real’s second youngest scoring record in a Champions knockout match (over 16). The youngest record in this category was Raul’s 18-year-old 253 days in 1996.

In the 27th minute of the first half, Vinicius trapped the long ball raised by Tony Kroos from the rear with his chest and finished with his right foot. 9 minutes later, Ascencio scored an additional goal due to an opponent’s error, and after scoring a make-up goal to Salach in the 6th minute of the second half, Vinisius broke the net again with his right foot in the 20th minute of the second half.

In another quarter-final first leg, home team Manchester City (England) beat Dortmund (Germany) 2-1. In the 45th minute of the second half, Phil Foden scored a’theatrical goal’.
