Real Madrid midfielder Jude Bellingham believes Vinicius Junior will be at his best in tonight’s Spanish Super Cup clash against Atletico Madrid.
Vinicius has failed to score in his last 15 appearances for Real Madrid across all competitions, with his last goals coming in October.
The Brazilian forward has not penned an extension to his contract, which expires in June 2027, and has been linked with a possible departure in the summer.
Speaking during a press conference, the England international backed Vinicius to overcome his goal drought against Atletico Madrid.

“When he’s at his best we’re a much better team and he’s a frightening player. In any way we can try and support him – that’s our job as teammates and I’m sure he’ll get back to his best, 100%.
“He’s no bad influence on the team, he’s no bad influence on anything productive that we’re trying to do,” said the England international.
“I have a great relationship with Vini… If I felt like there was somewhere that he was hurting us as a team and hurting our ambition as a squad, then I’d pull him and tell him. But I don’t think there is at all.
“He’s had a bit of a blank spell in front of goal, but like I said, I’m sure he’ll return to his best level with a bit of confidence that we can all give him.”
