Vinicius Jr. was simply unstoppable for Real Madrid this weekend. The Brazilian star earned a perfect 10 on Sofascore after delivering a standout performance in the 2-0 win over Espanyol in LaLiga. The last time he had reached a perfect rating in the Spanish league was nearly two years ago, in a dominant win against Osasuna.
This season, it marked his second perfect 10. The first came earlier in the year in the Champions League, in a win over Monaco. Overall, he has now achieved a Sofascore 10 rating six times in his career.
How did Vinicius Jr. earn his 10 vs Espanyol?
It was a clinical display. Vinicius Jr. took three shots, hit the target twice and scored both, registering 100% efficiency with shots on target. He also delivered three key passes and recorded 87% passing accuracy, highlighting his influence in both finishing and build-up play.
In duels, he won 10 out of 14, a strong number for a winger, especially away from home, showing physical dominance. He also completed 100% of his dribbles, with two successful attempts, reflecting sharp decision-making and high execution levels across his 84 minutes on the pitch.
His heatmap shows heavy involvement on the left flank and inside the box, combining width with penetration. These numbers underline his all-around attacking impact, from finishing to creation and progression, fully justifying the perfect Sofascore rating.
Vinicius Jr. and Real Madrid return to action next weekend for El Clásico against Barcelona. The Brazilian heads into the showdown full of confidence, with the title race potentially on the line.
