#4 Vinicius is Madrid's best attacking threat

Vinicius Jr. got his first start in the league at the Santiago Bernebau against a strong opponent, coming in for the injured Gareth Bale at the left wing that was previously manned by Cristiano Ronaldo.

The No. 28 had the best outing of any Madrid player, looking threatening every time he got on the ball, leaving defenders wondering as to what his next move could be with his majestic stride and quick feet.

The 18-year-old has only played a very small role in Madrid's season so far, but as someone who sees every Real Madrid fixture, one can safely say that he is the most dangerous attacking option the European Champions possess at the moment, with Asensio looking a lost man, Benzema being himself, and Bale injured often.

The Welshman's brittle nature means that Real must genuinely consider starting Vinicius, as he showed more verve than any other Real player has all season.
