Players to Watch

Vinicius Junior (⁠Real Madrid)

While Kylian Mbappe has stolen the headlines this season for Los Blancos, it is Vinicius Junior who has caught the eye with his performances. It was his heroics in the last match against Espanyol which guided Los Blancos to the three points. In the 35-minute cameo, he scored a goal and delivered a marvellous assist for Rodrygo to cap off a brilliant performance. Vinicius’s breathtaking pace and dribbling skills have seen him become one of the best players in the world already. 

Carlos Vicente (Alaves)

Carlos Vicente has been one of the standout players this season for Alaves who has played a significant role in their brilliant start to the new season. Vincente has looked dangerous from the right-hand side. Particularly his positioning and awareness to be in the right place has seen him score two goals already.

Apart from the goals, he has also created 16 chances for his teammates and helped the team defensively by making five tackles, three interceptions, and two blocks.
