Vinicius Jr: Spanish commentator's epic reaction to Real Madrid's CL winner
Vinicius Junior wrote his name into Real Madrid legend on Saturday night, scoring the only goal as Los Blancos defeated Liverpool in the Champions League final.
An estimated 20,000 Real fans inside the Stade de France went wild as the 21-year-old Brazilian winger found the net just before the hour mark, diverting a Federico Valverde cross beyond a despairing Alisson at the far post.
It was to be the goal that secured a 14th European Cup for Real. It’s fair to say they don’t come any more crucial.
As passionately as the Madrid fans in the stands reacted to the goal, the response of the commentator for Spanish broadcaster Movistar absolutely lost his mind.

The customary elongated bellow of “Gooooooooooooooool’ was here in all its glory, followed by an even bigger cry of ‘Viiiinnnnnnniiiiii’ in tribute to the goalscorer.

Members of the media are supposed to stay impartial to the action they are covering, but there’s no mistaking how badly this man wanted the trophy to come back to
