Vinicius Junior has revealed the reason why he celebrated his goal against Barcelona like Real Madrid legend Cristiano Ronaldo, in Sunday’s El Clasico win at the Santiago Bernabeu, Completesports.com reports.

Vinicius opened scoring for Madrid after running on to Toni Kroos’ pass before his effort which deflected off Gerard Pique beat a stranded Marc Andre Ter Stegen.

The Brazilian then proceeded to celebrate the goal just like Ronaldo always does when he scores a goal.

“He (Cristiano Ronaldo) came into the dressing room at halftime to support the team and give us moral support. That’s why I celebrated like him. He’s a winner in & out of the pitch,” Vinicius was quoted after the match.

Madrid doubled their lead in the 92nd minute through substitute Mariano Diaz who sped past Samuel Umtiti and managed to squeeze the ball into the net.

The win took Madrid to 56 points, just one point ahead of Barcelona.

Hmm... So it was Ronaldo that gave them the courage cos I wondered how the table turned in second half and Madrid players became too fast.

Ronaldo still has the kinda motivation and inspiration on people that messi can only dream of...messi is a fantastic player but he doesn't have the ability to motivate a team...he can single handedly win you games but he can't motivate the team when they're down...their triumph over PSG years ago was possible because neymar turned up for them...Ronaldo is the GOAT!!!!

Yes Cr7 is the GOAT in motivating a team
But As a Footballer, Messi is the Greatest of all time.
