Vinicius, with continued growth, has become the great offensive reference of Real Madrid. All danger comes from their actions. Haaland, who has a smaller influence on the game of city, looks deadly. An area eater. A pure 9 full of auction virtues with a strength that is difficult for any central defender in the world to stop.

And on city, making history with up to five goals in just 38 minutes against RB Leipzig in this edition, where they have scored twelve goals in eight games from 20 shots on target, remaining scoreless in just two games. Even the Norwegian giant, alone Messi in Barcelona and louis adrian at Shakhtar they achieved it in a match in the club’s most prestigious competition.
The Norwegian will meet for the first time on Tuesday in an official match a real Madrid to which he was related from his irruption. Its premiere at the Santiago Bernabéu. In just one friendly he crossed paths with Real Madrid, on August 7, 2019, when he made headlines for the nine goals he conceded against Honduras sub’20.
Within Red Bull Arena, where he hardly showed his virtues in his first steps in the Salzburg first team and forgave the three chances he now sends into the net. They lost to Real Madrid (0-1) with a goal from Eden Hazard, who was playing his first minutes in white before suffering the ordeal of injuries that has marked his time at the Madrid club. The Norwegian changed his shirt to Benzema.
