Vinicius talks up video game benefit of being a Real Madrid star and airs future ambition

Vinicius Junior admits that representing Real Madrid brings with it "fear and insecurity", but there are also perks and the Brazilian forward is delighted to be in a position where he can now play as himself on video games.

A big-money move in 2018 saw a then 18-year-old starlet leave the comforts of his homeland for a new challenge in Spain, with big things expected at Santiago Bernabeu from one of the hottest prospects in world football.

Vinicius concedes that living up to expectations at a La Liga heavyweight is not easy, but he is embracing a standing at the top of the world game that allows him to rub shoulders with his "greatest heroes" on and off the pitch.
