Lucas Vazquez Backs Vinicius Jr., Rodrygo Goes to Become 'Stars' at Real Madrid

Real Madrid winger Lucas Vazquez has backed team-mates Vinicius Jr. and Rodrygo Goes to become "stars" in the team.

The teenage pair each scored as Real beat Osasuna 2-0 in La Liga on Wednesday.

Vazquez told Movistar (h/t Goal's Tom Webber): "We are very happy for the two signings made by the club. They will calmly evolve and improve. They have the attributes to be two stars."

Vinicius, who arrived from Flamengo in 2018 for €46 million, was one of the few highlights at the Santiago Bernabeu last season.

The 19-year-old racked up three goals and 12 assists, despite a knee injury keeping him out for nine games in the final months of the season.
