And it hasn't taken long. Vinny. Here's Vinicius Junior. And the counter might be on. Running straight through the middle. Vinicius Junior looking to... Go to Real Madrid at the moment on half. And Verdi sends that one forward. The shot comes in and that is absolutely brilliant. Forward, but he's been sandwiched by Goncalo and Kamovic. Vinicius. Vinicius getting beyond his man into the box. And there is the goal that gives Real Madrid the lead in a game. Vinicius Junior again. Vinicius Junior lashes in the equaliser. A superstar goal for Brazil. Vinicius. Goncalo Garcia making a run. Vinicius might go all alone. He did go all alone. How important he is to Real Madrid. Which, even when they're playing poorly. Two Celta players. Vinicius. Counter that starts now for Brazil. Vinicius Junior slips it through. And then it's fired into the roof of the net. Two in the centre. Really good run. Vinicius! This has been a difficult night for Real Madrid. Goncalo Garcia through the middle. He's gone past the first man. Pulls the cross back to the edge of the area where Camavinga was poised. The shot comes in. They play this Haiti team next. Vinicius. Still Vinicius. And Goulet! What a goal that is from Real Madrid. Brilliant wing play from Vinicius. God knows what happens. There might be space here for Mbappé to run into. To Anthony. Vinicius. Bacon, Koubarsi and Eric. Chamonix on the edge of the box. And here is Vinicius. And Vinicius finishes it off. Cool as you like. It was a swift break from Real Madrid. Germania's cross. Vinicius Junior! He's onside this time. Real Madrid are going to finish it off. There's no real threat of Giroud in a break. Santos has gone outside of it. Vinicius Junior. He's lunging in, but...

Vinicius Junior. Now to Vinicius. Veni Junior. Cutting in. Coming up for the Canadian. He wants to be playing regular football. To Vinicius. Both players involved in that 50-50. Back on their feet again. This is Mbappe! 1-1. Doesn't miss those. Kylian Mbappe. He's got Brahim through the middle. Vinicius shakes off the first challenge. Game of the season. At the Estadio Santiago Bernabeu. Marcus forces... Vinicius Junior. Last seconds of the half now. Vinicius into Bellingham. Bellingham back to Vinicius! Vinicius with a brilliant finish! Real Madrid double the... Kylian Mbappe. Ball for Vinicius. He turns it around. He tries to finish it off. He's got the ball. Mastantuoro. Goal! Gets his head down. Gets past Koundé. He gets out with a header. All on his own in the sixth... I don't think we'll see that in the derby. I think we will see something closer to home. Dedic. Which way is he going to go? He's going to go past Dedic is the answer. Vinicius. Just three minutes from a pass from Jimmy Abel, who is on the bench for Betis this afternoon. Vinicius has got... Gonzalo. Out to Vinicius. He takes it past Calero. Vinicius. He's pushed himself wide. But he's found Mbappe! Vinicius. Oh! He's found the back of the net. Vinicius Junior. With a brilliant improvised finish. Out to Naka. A match. Vinicius is tracking. Reflex save to Danai Solo. Casemiro. Vinicius. Touched on the left. To Rodrigo. Can he score another one? Vinicius Junior. That's an interesting ball. It's Fede Valverde. And again! And Fede Valverde scores! Cover from Uber Mercado. And from Joshua Kimmich. Still Vinicius. He's gone for goal. Looks like Real Madrid... Left after this. Vinicius turns into space. This could be the hat-trick. Vinicius Junior. Mbappe wants it. Across comes Rafa Marin. And it's a penalty. Vinicius will take the shot on! And he will find the back of the net. It was a terrific pass. Maybe a chance for Vinicius to break Franco Mastro. Toro's in loads of space here. Takes it in his stride. Mastro Toro with his right foot. Vinicius. Into Goulet. Goulet almost gave it back. I think space for Vinicius. Lots and lots of time. And... Vini, this time he's up against Vivian. And now the break. They're a full forward. Vinicius Junior. Almost a quarter of the way through the game. Nicely done, Vinicius Junior. A couple of metres out. And there's another chance here for Los Blancos. A powerful shot. And the second goal is Vinicius Junior. Who has turned the game completely on its head. Here is Vinicius. Plenty in canary yellow inside the box. Brazil have got a man down. Vinicius trying to get round Navarro and doing so. There's Mbappé! Kylian Mbappé down in his second half. Vinicius in the box. Vinicius! Vinicius getting on the end of this. And finding the shot. Out comes Radu. Unexpected to play this game. And in midweek as Vinicius comes forward. You can only find Severa. Here is Vinicius chipping the ball in. Severa is equal to it. And there's that ball. The diagonal to Vinny. Forward very, very quickly. Here is Vinicius. Back to Mbappé. Who lines up the shot. Mbappé! It is another absolute screamer at the Bernabéu this afternoon. Skips past Mourinho. And it's deflected in. Vinicius. Defending. Vinicius. Wriggles. Gets the shot. Away on the post! Real Madrid have space to run into. They can be very dangerous. Vinicius. Here's Vinicius. Goal! Yet again. The game is hard. He's away from Retsos. Trying to set up Mbappé. Power pass. Calero. Mastantuono with the shot. It's well saved. Vinicius Junior's cutback. Celta overcomplicate things. And here's Vinicius Junior. Pulls it back. Towards Mbappé. There seems to be space on this left-hand side where they look to team up and take. Vinicius. Links it in towards Tramani. Vinicius. It flows all night and it's still going to be the same, isn't it? Here is Vinicius. Is there a reaction from Real Madrid? That is a lovely finish. Vinicius Junior. He's scored in La Liga against Atletico. He has now. Sending Moussa. Is he big enough to atone? You bet. Same drive. Same corner. Vinicius Junior. Takes it past. Vinicius. Vinny. By a chorus of whistles. Here is Vinicius. Into the penalty area. Vinicius twisting it. Brahim Diaz. That's Real Madrid's number seven. Through the legs of Ratio. The other flankers. Stood there with his arm in the air. Gonzalo Garcia and Rodrigo in the middle. Fede Valverde joins them. And there's a foul from... That's what Vinicius Junior does. The penalty. And Vinicius has scored the penalty. And Real Madrid. Vinicius stepping up. And it's just about squeezed home. He steps. And he scores into the corner. Vinicius makes it. Real Madrid 4. Pape to Vinicius. Vinicius Junior there. Twisting. Turning. Maybe there is. But I think the bigger criticism will be. Now Vinny. To Lance. Vinicius charging forward. Goes past Koundé. Vinicius Junior. Up against Tomoyasu. Here's Vinicius Junior. He's through. Once more. Vinny Junior for Brazil. Delicious dribbling here from Vinicius. And he's gone down. Get between Paul and Mandão. But Vinicius Junior stole it back. Martinelli. Always rescue again.
