"Luka Modric taught me [that kind of shot],"
"I miss him. But I'm very happy with the game, and with the win ... Let's hope I can score more goals like that. It's one of the best goals I've scored with the outside of my foot."
"If we keep going like that, we can win a lot this season ... We're looking forward to [the derby]. Now we need to rest a bit, but let's hope we can win on Saturday."
Vinícius Júnior scored an outside-of-the-foot curling goal in the 28th minute to put Real Madrid ahead in a 4-1 win at Levante's Ciutat de Valencia Stadium. Franco Mastantuono added a second before halftime. Etta Eyong reduced the deficit after the break, and Kylian Mbappé scored twice to complete the scoring. Real Madrid extended their perfect LaLiga start to six wins. Vinícius described the strike as one of his best with the outside of his foot and credited Luka Modric for teaching the technique. Vinícius has been omitted from the starting XI twice and showed visible frustration at a recent substitution. Defence, unity and collective work were highlighted as keys to continued success ahead of the derby with Atlético Madrid.
