Vinicius Jr. Says 1st Season at Real Madrid 'Was a Great Year for Me'

Vinicius Jr. said he is already looking forward to next season after a "great" first year at Real Madrid.

The 18-year-old arrived last summer from Flamengo, and he reflected positively on an impressive debut campaign.

Per Marca's Juan Ignacio Garcia-Ochoa, he said:

"It was a great year for me. I started with Castilla, but I knew what would happen sooner or later.

"I started playing, and I learnt a lot. It was a shame that we didn't do well in any of the three competitions, but the team had won three Champions Leagues [in the three previous seasons].
