Real Madrid might have come up short against Arsenal in the Champions League, but Vinícius Júnior's lone goal etched his name in the club's history books.
For the first time in over 20 years, Real Madrid crashed out of the Champions League in the quarterfinals. The Gunners ended Los Blancos' European title defense with two impressive performances at the Emirates and the Santiago Bernabéu. In fact, Arsenal held Real Madrid to just one goal in 180 minutes of soccer.
It was Vinícius Júnior who finally broke the deadlock for Real Madrid in the 67th minute of the second leg. The goal was not nearly enough to mount a comeback against Arsenal, but it was enough to make club history.
The Brazilian joined Cristiano Ronaldo, Karim Benzema and Raúl as the only four players in Real Madrid history to record 50 goal contributions in the Champions League. At age 24, Vinícius Júnior now has 29 goals and 21 assists in the competition, along with two Champions League titles.
