1 00:00:17,893 --> 00:00:20,812 I'm Vinícius Júnior, and I came to Real Madrid in 2018. 2 00:00:27,653 --> 00:00:31,615 What does it take to become a star at the biggest club in the world? 3 00:00:31,615 --> 00:00:35,452 A new country, a new culture, a new language. 4 00:00:35,452 --> 00:00:38,163 And all that, while still a teenager. 5 00:00:39,831 --> 00:00:41,250 - How are you doing? - Well. 6 00:00:41,250 --> 00:00:42,709 - Happy? - Very happy. 7 00:00:45,045 --> 00:00:47,965 Before he came to Real Madrid, we sat down with him 8 00:00:47,965 --> 00:00:51,969 {\an8}and told him: "Get ready, because this isn't just any club. 9 00:00:51,969 --> 00:00:54,596 {\an8}You'll be playing for the best club in the world. 10 00:00:54,596 --> 00:00:58,475 You'll be in the changing room with the best players in the world, 11 00:00:58,475 --> 00:01:02,479 and you'll come out into the Bernabéu in front of the best fans in the world." 12 00:01:02,479 --> 00:01:06,567 Vinícius had just turned 18 when he arrived at Real Madrid. 13 00:01:07,192 --> 00:01:09,194 This will be a very beautiful story. 14 00:01:09,194 --> 00:01:14,241 {\an8}He may be a very young player, but he's got more than enough experience 15 00:01:14,241 --> 00:01:16,326 {\an8}to play for Real Madrid. 16 00:01:18,579 --> 00:01:21,373 It will be more difficult in the beginning, 17 00:01:21,373 --> 00:01:24,168 but I wish him all the best. 18 00:01:24,168 --> 00:01:26,295 And we'll all be here to help him. 19 00:01:42,561 --> 00:01:43,937 My awful voice! 20 00:01:45,105 --> 00:01:48,066 Vinícius had been a big prospect for a long time. 21 00:01:48,066 --> 00:01:50,652 {\an8}Madrid spent a lot of money on him, to bring him from Brazil, 22 00:01:50,652 --> 00:01:52,738 {\an8}but he never really fitted into the team. 23 00:01:52,738 --> 00:01:56,158 And he hadn't shown the composure that you need to be a top goal scorer. 24 00:01:56,867 --> 00:02:00,913 It wasn't consistent, and the one thing that was really letting him down 25 00:02:00,913 --> 00:02:04,791 {\an8}was the final decision making in front of a goal, that last touch. 26 00:02:07,085 --> 00:02:09,588 Do you shoot, do you pass? What do you do? 27 00:02:12,758 --> 00:02:16,678 {\an8}They'd blame him, saying: "He runs fast, but he can't center. 28 00:02:16,678 --> 00:02:20,432 He chooses poorly. When he ought to cross, he shoots. And when he needs to shoot..." 29 00:02:26,313 --> 00:02:29,107 And with doubts surfacing about his abilities, 30 00:02:29,107 --> 00:02:32,444 things went from bad to worse for the young Brazilian. 31 00:02:41,495 --> 00:02:46,583 Vinícius could be out for two months with a torn ankle ligament. 32 00:02:57,386 --> 00:03:02,182 After six months of grueling rehab, the teenager prepared for his comeback, 33 00:03:02,182 --> 00:03:05,394 intent on proving not only that he was fit, 34 00:03:05,394 --> 00:03:07,604 but also that he belonged. 35 00:03:09,982 --> 00:03:12,401 And, like a true star in the making, 36 00:03:12,401 --> 00:03:14,987 Vinícius let his boots do the talking. 37 00:03:14,987 --> 00:03:16,530 Toni Kroos to Vinícius. 38 00:03:16,530 --> 00:03:18,073 One on one with Lillo. There's Vinícius. 39 00:03:18,073 --> 00:03:24,204 - Vinícius shoots. Goal! - A great goal! 40 00:03:24,204 --> 00:03:27,916 Vinícius Júnior! 41 00:03:33,797 --> 00:03:35,632 That was a really important moment, 42 00:03:35,632 --> 00:03:38,385 because it was my first goal after my injury 43 00:03:38,385 --> 00:03:42,514 {\an8}and with all the pressure I was under. 44 00:03:42,514 --> 00:03:46,852 {\an8}So I think it was a really important goal for me to settle my nerves 45 00:03:46,852 --> 00:03:48,520 and have a good season. 46 00:03:48,520 --> 00:03:53,233 - Goal by Vinícius... - Júnior! 47 00:03:56,445 --> 00:03:58,488 Now that he was back on his feet, 48 00:03:58,488 --> 00:04:01,992 Vini wasted no time fulfilling the potential Madrid had seen in him 49 00:04:01,992 --> 00:04:03,327 at such a young age. 50 00:04:03,327 --> 00:04:07,664 Vinícius Júnior has the whole goal to aim at. Vinícius Júnior! 51 00:04:07,664 --> 00:04:09,791 3-2, Real Madrid! 52 00:04:09,791 --> 00:04:12,878 It did seem like an overnight click in his head. 53 00:04:12,878 --> 00:04:15,964 Suddenly, he was calm. When he received the ball in the area, 54 00:04:15,964 --> 00:04:19,384 he was able to take his time, pick his spot and score goals. 55 00:04:19,384 --> 00:04:21,928 He finds the net. And when he doesn't, 56 00:04:21,928 --> 00:04:25,599 he's behind 60-65% of Real Madrid's attacking play. 57 00:04:25,599 --> 00:04:29,269 He gets away from 4 players. To me, he's a **** good show. 58 00:04:33,941 --> 00:04:36,443 He's a really special player, 59 00:04:36,443 --> 00:04:39,404 with the ball at his feet and physically. 60 00:04:39,404 --> 00:04:41,198 {\an8}I remember an interview with Vinícius... 61 00:04:41,198 --> 00:04:42,741 {\an8}WE ALWAYS BELIEVED IN YOU GOD BLESS YOU 62 00:04:42,741 --> 00:04:44,785 {\an8}...in which he was asked why he is now scoring the goals 63 00:04:44,785 --> 00:04:46,286 that he didn't score before. 64 00:04:46,286 --> 00:04:47,871 {\an8}And he gives a brilliantly simple answer 65 00:04:47,871 --> 00:04:50,040 {\an8}that we don't always appreciate from the outside. 66 00:04:50,040 --> 00:04:52,167 {\an8}He said, "Well, I was younger then." 67 00:04:52,167 --> 00:04:54,294 I was 18 when I arrived. 68 00:04:54,294 --> 00:04:59,049 I had spent a year at one of the biggest clubs in Brazil. 69 00:04:59,049 --> 00:05:02,427 And then I came to the biggest club in the world with the best players. 70 00:05:02,427 --> 00:05:06,765 So of course it was hard to get to the level I'm at today. 71 00:05:06,765 --> 00:05:09,393 But I want to carry on like this, helping the team 72 00:05:09,393 --> 00:05:11,478 and achieving big things this season. 73 00:05:11,979 --> 00:05:16,608 - What's Vinícius' dream? - To win the Champions with Real Madrid. 74 00:05:20,612 --> 00:05:22,656 Courtois! 75 00:05:25,742 --> 00:05:27,327 Benzema! 76 00:05:27,327 --> 00:05:28,704 This is crazy! 77 00:05:28,704 --> 00:05:32,165 Goal! 78 00:05:32,165 --> 00:05:36,587 - Luka... - Modrić! 79 00:05:37,921 --> 00:05:40,299 Goal! 80 00:05:44,428 --> 00:05:47,639 Vinícius Júnior! 81 00:06:06,658 --> 00:06:08,327 {\an8}To be the best in the world, 82 00:06:08,327 --> 00:06:10,913 {\an8}a team must conquer the UEFA Champions League. 83 00:06:10,913 --> 00:06:15,083 {\an8}And no other club has lifted this elusive trophy more times 84 00:06:15,083 --> 00:06:16,251 than Real Madrid. 85 00:06:16,251 --> 00:06:21,173 But the path to an unprecedented 14th title has never been steeper. 86 00:06:21,173 --> 00:06:22,591 To win it once again, 87 00:06:22,591 --> 00:06:26,512 Madrid will need to draw on every ounce of self-belief. 88 00:06:27,054 --> 00:06:31,141 And on the magic of its 120-year history. 89 00:06:31,141 --> 00:06:34,228 It is an almost impossible task. 90 00:06:34,228 --> 00:06:36,813 But this is no ordinary club. 91 00:06:36,813 --> 00:06:38,899 This is Real Madrid. 92 00:06:47,950 --> 00:06:51,161 It's barely two weeks since Madrid's victory over Chelsea. 93 00:06:51,161 --> 00:06:53,872 But the celebrations are long since over. 94 00:06:54,540 --> 00:06:56,750 The focus is now on the next hurdle 95 00:06:56,750 --> 00:07:00,170 in the team's quest to lift the Champions League trophy 96 00:07:00,170 --> 00:07:02,047 for a record 14th time. 97 00:07:03,048 --> 00:07:05,592 And this will be their toughest challenge yet. 98 00:07:08,178 --> 00:07:10,514 Standing between them and a place in the final 99 00:07:10,514 --> 00:07:13,475 is a club set to win the English Premier League title, 100 00:07:13,475 --> 00:07:14,977 Manchester City. 101 00:07:17,521 --> 00:07:19,523 Nice stadium. 102 00:07:20,148 --> 00:07:23,235 Let's see if we win.

We're here to win." 211 00:15:01,735 --> 00:15:04,530 I did it because it was a really important match, 212 00:15:04,530 --> 00:15:08,116 and I knew it would long be remembered by the fans. 213 00:15:18,001 --> 00:15:20,420 The match ends in defeat for Real Madrid. 214 00:15:20,420 --> 00:15:23,298 But ahead of the return leg in just a week's time, 215 00:15:23,298 --> 00:15:25,592 the mood in both camps is very different. 216 00:15:26,969 --> 00:15:31,098 {\an8}We lost only 3-4, while we could've lost 10-1, for example. 217 00:15:31,098 --> 00:15:35,102 And I think the overwhelming feeling from City was frustration. 218 00:15:35,102 --> 00:15:36,812 We were there all the time. 219 00:15:36,812 --> 00:15:40,148 So maybe we have to defend well, or maybe we can say we have to 220 00:15:40,148 --> 00:15:42,317 put it to chance.

You need to use your legs. 321 00:23:13,143 --> 00:23:16,313 In the first moment, I think no one thought I touched the ball. 322 00:23:16,313 --> 00:23:19,149 But if you see this angle, it was a crucial save. 323 00:23:19,149 --> 00:23:22,402 I think if I don't touch it with my long legs, 324 00:23:22,402 --> 00:23:24,154 it was goal and game over. 325 00:23:24,154 --> 00:23:26,907 So, that was a special moment to keep on believing. 326 00:23:26,907 --> 00:23:28,825 Real Madrid won't give up, 327 00:23:28,825 --> 00:23:30,661 even though it seems impossible. 328 00:23:30,661 --> 00:23:33,747 Carvajal on the ball, passes to Karim Benzema. 329 00:23:33,747 --> 00:23:35,624 Karim, inside the box! 330 00:23:35,624 --> 00:23:38,168 Marco Asensio can't reach it. 331 00:23:38,669 --> 00:23:40,504 On the minute 89, 332 00:23:40,504 --> 00:23:46,510 {\an8}the percentage of going through was 99% for City, and 1% for Real Madrid. 333 00:23:47,094 --> 00:23:51,348 But, for a team like Real Madrid, 1% is all they need. 334 00:23:56,728 --> 00:23:59,565 Camavinga.

Whatever happens, this team never gives up! 349 00:24:49,198 --> 00:24:54,119 Your legs may be failing, but with your fans' support, 350 00:24:54,119 --> 00:24:56,830 your heart starts pounding harder and you can keep on running. 351 00:24:59,833 --> 00:25:04,213 The opponent starts to doubt a bit, and the stadium is on our side. 352 00:25:04,213 --> 00:25:06,465 That's when you realize, 353 00:25:06,465 --> 00:25:10,302 {\an8}you aren't playing against 11, but 80,000 elevens. By then, it's too late. 354 00:25:10,302 --> 00:25:13,138 Many people ask me, "What's it like?" 355 00:25:13,138 --> 00:25:16,892 I can't explain it. You have to be there. You have to feel it. 356 00:25:17,434 --> 00:25:21,396 This is a place where extraordinary things happen. 357 00:25:21,396 --> 00:25:25,400 - Rodrygo to Militão. Too strong. - It's okay. Come on.

They play vertically. 448 00:33:32,888 --> 00:33:37,643 You have to take this all into account. And we have-- It's not like-- 449 00:33:37,643 --> 00:33:40,479 It's not like we have no clue what to do. 450 00:33:40,479 --> 00:33:43,440 We'll try to do things that can hurt them. 451 00:33:49,446 --> 00:33:52,032 It's clear that a world-class team with a world-class coach, 452 00:33:52,032 --> 00:33:54,243 the most experienced manager in this competition, 453 00:33:54,243 --> 00:33:56,703 {\an8}is your opponent, so that's obviously difficult, 454 00:33:56,703 --> 00:33:59,331 {\an8}but we are here to give it a proper try. That's it. 455 00:34:01,083 --> 00:34:05,128 For Liverpool forward Mo Salah, this final goes beyond special. 456 00:34:05,128 --> 00:34:06,213 It's personal. 457 00:34:08,090 --> 00:34:10,007 As many people may remember, 458 00:34:10,007 --> 00:34:15,389 a few years prior, in Kiev in Ukraine, they met in the final. 459 00:34:15,389 --> 00:34:16,889 And Real Madrid went on to win. 460 00:34:21,520 --> 00:34:27,860 And Mo Salah, who came off injured, he always had this thorn in his side 461 00:34:27,860 --> 00:34:30,654 that he wanted to play Real Madrid again. 462 00:34:31,697 --> 00:34:35,367 And he made a public statement about that, speaking to the media. 463 00:34:37,119 --> 00:34:40,330 We saw your tweet last night. You've got a score to settle. 464 00:34:40,330 --> 00:34:42,040 Real Madrid are in the final. 465 00:34:42,040 --> 00:34:46,335 I think when we sat here four years ago, it was before that final the last time. 466 00:34:46,335 --> 00:34:48,672 And, of course, it ended very unhappily for you. 467 00:34:48,672 --> 00:34:51,884 {\an8}Do you think it's a revenge mission against Madrid? Do you see it like that? 468 00:34:51,884 --> 00:34:57,347 {\an8}Yeah. I see how we lost in the final. It was a sad day for all of us. 469 00:34:58,056 --> 00:35:01,018 {\an8}But, yeah, I think it's revenge time. 470 00:35:09,193 --> 00:35:11,320 Ahead of your first Champions League final, 471 00:35:11,320 --> 00:35:14,156 anxiety can be your worst enemy. 472 00:35:14,156 --> 00:35:16,241 I feel a lot of tension, 473 00:35:16,241 --> 00:35:17,701 a lot of pressure, before matches. 474 00:35:17,701 --> 00:35:22,539 These days I try to handle it differently. I'm more relaxed and try to enjoy it. 475 00:35:22,539 --> 00:35:25,167 But right then, there was no way I was going to be able to relax. 476 00:35:25,167 --> 00:35:26,376 I was so nervous. 477 00:35:26,376 --> 00:35:30,422 I'm not gonna lie. I was climbing the walls every night. 478 00:35:31,173 --> 00:35:34,760 If we win the Champions, I'll run around the whole pitch after the game. 479 00:35:34,760 --> 00:35:37,304 Fortunately for the youngest members of the team, 480 00:35:37,304 --> 00:35:40,974 Madrid's experienced veterans are on hand to calm any nerves. 481 00:35:40,974 --> 00:35:47,940 For many of our players, like Vinícius, Rodrygo, Camavinga, Fede, 482 00:35:47,940 --> 00:35:52,778 it was the first Champions League final, so it's normal that you get more nervous 483 00:35:52,778 --> 00:35:54,530 than playing your fifth or sixth. 484 00:35:54,530 --> 00:35:57,533 I asked Toni how many finals he'd played, 485 00:35:57,533 --> 00:36:01,036 and he told me five, so I said, "You must be relaxed then." 486 00:36:01,036 --> 00:36:03,372 If you're still nervous on the pitch, that doesn't help. 487 00:36:03,372 --> 00:36:04,915 I think if you're nervous before, 488 00:36:04,915 --> 00:36:07,501 it's quite normal, because it's an important game. 489 00:36:07,501 --> 00:36:10,337 Rodrygo, Mili and I were talking to him before the game, 490 00:36:10,337 --> 00:36:14,299 and he was really reassuring. "Nah, it's like any other match. 491 00:36:14,299 --> 00:36:18,095 After all the tough games we've played up until now, 492 00:36:18,095 --> 00:36:23,600 the most important thing is that the Real Madrid players know how to play." 493 00:36:27,938 --> 00:36:30,691 - That's it. Very good. - Karim, take it easy, okay? 494 00:36:33,777 --> 00:36:35,863 - God. - Hey, take it easy. 495 00:36:35,863 --> 00:36:39,157 With all that tension, all those nerves, 496 00:36:39,157 --> 00:36:41,910 we talked a lot about just enjoying the moment. 497 00:36:41,910 --> 00:36:44,162 Hang on. Think about it. Look at each other. 498 00:36:47,958 --> 00:36:50,586 It's not an individual sport. 499 00:36:50,586 --> 00:36:55,215 It's a team game. We all play together to win. 500 00:36:56,717 --> 00:36:58,385 Let's go. Yeah. 501 00:36:59,094 --> 00:37:04,474 We were relaxed, chilled.

You can't imagine how happy I am. 540 00:39:47,471 --> 00:39:51,767 Only the people who really know me understand how hard I worked to get here. 541 00:39:51,767 --> 00:39:54,520 I've been on the opposing side and I know what it's like to play Madrid. 542 00:39:54,520 --> 00:40:00,025 I want to be worthy of this crest, and the values and history it represents. 543 00:40:04,613 --> 00:40:06,907 - I'm very glad to see you. - Thanks a lot. 544 00:40:06,907 --> 00:40:09,701 You should play basketball, right? 545 00:40:09,701 --> 00:40:12,037 You should only be a keeper or a central defender. 546 00:40:12,037 --> 00:40:16,124 For someone that, for the frame and the body that he has, 547 00:40:16,124 --> 00:40:20,337 {\an8}he's-- he's got great coordination, and I would say that as a goalkeeper 548 00:40:20,337 --> 00:40:24,049 {\an8}he stops angles and areas that other goalkeepers can't. 549 00:40:25,384 --> 00:40:26,760 Good one! 550 00:40:26,760 --> 00:40:28,387 For the past four years, 551 00:40:28,387 --> 00:40:31,807 Keylor Navas had been the team's first-choice goalkeeper. 552 00:40:31,807 --> 00:40:35,394 So Thibaut had to fight for his place in the starting 11. 553 00:40:35,394 --> 00:40:38,564 I think when he joins Real Madrid, it is difficult with Keylor Navas 554 00:40:38,564 --> 00:40:41,233 and I think it's difficult because Keylor Navas has a status 555 00:40:41,233 --> 00:40:45,529 as the goalkeeper that won three European Cups with Real Madrid. 556 00:40:45,529 --> 00:40:48,740 But, even then, one of the things that's really striking about Courtois, I think, 557 00:40:48,740 --> 00:40:50,409 is there is a self-belief. 558 00:40:50,409 --> 00:40:53,328 You have to cope with the pressure and then mentally be strong 559 00:40:53,328 --> 00:40:56,832 because you're going to have criticisms from the fans that are always demanding, 560 00:40:56,832 --> 00:40:58,041 from the press. 561 00:40:58,041 --> 00:41:00,627 So you have to just focus on your own work, hard work, 562 00:41:00,627 --> 00:41:04,506 and don't put your head down, just keep on working, 563 00:41:04,506 --> 00:41:06,842 and eventually the good things are coming. 564 00:41:09,386 --> 00:41:14,057 {\an8}He's earned the club's love and respect by working hard 565 00:41:14,057 --> 00:41:15,893 and quietly getting on with it. 566 00:41:19,980 --> 00:41:22,399 - What a save. - Courtu! 567 00:41:22,399 --> 00:41:24,860 Thibaut controls the ball. Thibaut has the ball. 568 00:41:28,030 --> 00:41:29,990 Cancelo shoots! 569 00:41:29,990 --> 00:41:31,700 He can make saves low down. 570 00:41:31,700 --> 00:41:36,205 {\an8}Throws himself into the air like he was only 5' 7". He's earned it. 571 00:41:37,331 --> 00:41:43,587 What Courtois does in a match is exactly what he does in training. 572 00:41:43,587 --> 00:41:48,008 And sometimes I say to him, "You need to give our strikers a chance." 573 00:41:49,510 --> 00:41:52,513 Because in training, he won't let them score a single goal. 574 00:42:01,104 --> 00:42:03,690 And now, just hours before the final, 575 00:42:03,690 --> 00:42:06,443 Thibaut Courtois has noticed a happy coincidence 576 00:42:06,443 --> 00:42:08,904 he's sure will prove serendipitous. 577 00:42:10,489 --> 00:42:14,409 Fun fact.

Denied by Courtois. 614 00:46:04,264 --> 00:46:08,602 In a final, conceding an early goal can prove insurmountable. 615 00:46:08,602 --> 00:46:10,395 And it's Liverpool who take the initiative, 616 00:46:11,480 --> 00:46:13,857 setting up camp in the Madrid half. 617 00:46:15,442 --> 00:46:16,485 Mané. 618 00:46:17,986 --> 00:46:19,321 Still Mané. 619 00:46:19,321 --> 00:46:20,948 Oh, my word! 620 00:46:20,948 --> 00:46:23,075 Unbelievable save! 621 00:46:23,742 --> 00:46:27,538 Once again, it's Madrid's towering goalkeeper, Thibaut Courtois, 622 00:46:27,538 --> 00:46:29,039 who keeps them in the game. 623 00:46:31,083 --> 00:46:33,544 Yeah, probably the most difficult was the one from Mané. 624 00:46:33,544 --> 00:46:35,295 He came inside, he shot really strong, 625 00:46:35,295 --> 00:46:36,964 and it was an amazing feeling to save. 626 00:46:36,964 --> 00:46:40,592 And at that point I really felt, "Okay, today it will be really difficult for them 627 00:46:40,592 --> 00:46:42,094 to score against me." 628 00:46:43,303 --> 00:46:44,388 Konaté, 629 00:46:44,388 --> 00:46:46,181 driving forward. 630 00:46:48,141 --> 00:46:49,685 Out wide, Alexander-Arnold. 631 00:46:50,727 --> 00:46:51,895 On the wing. 632 00:46:51,895 --> 00:46:55,232 Salah meets the cross with a header straight at Courtois. 633 00:46:55,232 --> 00:46:57,609 Well positioned to make a simple save. 634 00:47:01,071 --> 00:47:02,781 As halftime approaches, 635 00:47:02,781 --> 00:47:06,118 Los Blancos start to test the Liverpool defense. 636 00:47:08,287 --> 00:47:11,582 Stade de France-- Benzema with a chance here for the first goal! 637 00:47:11,582 --> 00:47:13,083 Benzema!
