Real Madrid’s Brazilian winger Vinicius Jr. has been named La Liga Player of the Month for November, following two standout performances that highlighted his goal-scoring prowess and playmaking skills. Despite his current injury, Vinicius’s contributions were pivotal in helping Real Madrid secure key victories in La Liga.
The 23-year-old dazzled in the 4-0 home win against Osasuna at Santiago Bernabeu, where he scored a remarkable hat-trick. In the following match against Leganes, Vinicius provided an assist to Kylian Mbappe for the opening goal in a 3-0 victory, solidifying his impact in Real Madrid’s attack during November.
His achievements earned him the top spot in the La Liga EA Sports Player of the Month vote, surpassing other top contenders such as Dani Olmo (Barcelona), Takefusa Kubo (Real Sociedad), Arnau Martínez (Girona), and Giuliano Simeone (Atletico Madrid). This accolade adds to Vinicius’s growing list of honors and marks another milestone in his career.
Interestingly, Vinicius succeeds Barcelona striker Robert Lewandowski, the previous recipient of the award, showcasing the competitive nature of La Liga’s star performers.
While Real Madrid continues to perform well in La Liga during Vinicius’s absence, their struggles in the Champions League, particularly against Liverpool, highlight how much they rely on their Brazilian star. Carlo Ancelotti will undoubtedly look forward to Vinicius’s return as Real Madrid aims to maintain their momentum across all competitions.
