Real Madrid forward Vinícius Júnior etched his name into an elite group on Sunday, matching the achievements of club legends such as Karim Benzema, Cristiano Ronaldo, Raúl, Hugo Sánchez, Ferenc Puskás, Pahiño, and Alfredo Di Stéfano after Los Blancos secured victory over Espanyol in La Liga.
The Brazilian winger netted twice at the RCDE Stadium, ensuring all three points for the visitors.
According to MadridXtra, Kylian Mbappé’s double against Espanyol also saw him surpass the 20-goal mark across all competitions for a fifth straight season with Real Madrid.
The 25-year-old attacker made his move to the Spanish giants from Flamengo in 2018.
Notably, the list of Real Madrid players to have recorded 20 or more goals in all competitions for at least five consecutive seasons includes Benzema, Ronaldo, Raúl, Sánchez, Puskás, Pahiño, Di Stéfano, and now Vinícius Júnior.
