Vinicius jr had the sole goal in yesterday's match of Real Madrid vs Benifica. It was a very nice goal. The match was then turned upside down with a bunch of stoppage for alleged racism and fans throwing things on the field. It was a mess. Real Madrid moves on and Vini has a nice highlight. I don't have a whole lot of Vini but he is still world class. I do see him a touch slower than a few years ago but maybe that's just my eyes.
I have this Chocolates Torras Gerona card showing Benfica vs Real Madrid. Torras printed their sets between 1921 and 1923. Benfica did not play Real Madrid until 1940. Using a little AI sleuthing, I found out that Torras often created fictional match scenes with generic players and then added club names to make the card more exciting for children. Still love the card. Will have to do some more research on it with some other vintage collectors. Madrid and Benfica have a big clash today in the first leg of the Champions League knockout stage. Benfica barely got in with this crazy goal a couple of weeks ago during the group stages. One more chapter in the Mourinho/Real Madrid story. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HBO4s6Q6gvQ
