The Brazilian footballer played a key role in Los Blancos' 4-0 win against the Segunda B side in their first match of the 2018-19 Copa del Rey.

Yes, it was a game against a Segunda División B team, but Vinicius' first start as a Real Madrid player gave fans cause for hope. 

The Brazilian player had a major role in Real Madrid's first leg win against Melilla, with his well-timed runs down the flank and good passing skills. Those skills saw him handing out his first assists as a Real Madrid player, with two of his passes being put to good use by Marco Asensio and Alvaro Odriozola.

Vinicius' debut as a starter saw him reach a stat no other footballer had accomplished in recent years, making fans look for a brighter future with the Brazilian wingman as their new reference up front.

The wingman even bragged about his passing skills with some trick plays such as the one below.

Playing this game was the right choice for the footballer, and now his new boss -or whoever takes charge- will have more options to choose from.

Yes, we know that Real Madrid defeated a Segunda División B team, but there seems to be a light at the end of the tunnel for the Spanish giants with their most expensive signing this summer.
