Vini Jr. Saves the Day (Again)
Vinícius Junior stepped up once more, converting a 69th-minute penalty after a handball to salvage a point for Madrid. But the team’s shaky start to the season has fans asking: Where’s last year’s magic?
Coach Carlo Ancelotti admitted, \"It’s been harder than expected… these first three matches showed me things that haven’t worked.\"
