His goal marked the 105th for the La Liga giants across all competitions since joining them from Flamengo during the 2017-18 season. 

During Ronaldo Nazario’s five-year spell at the Santiago Bernabeu, he scored 104 goals before departing for AC Milan in 2007.

Notwithstanding Vini’s effort, Carlo Ancelotti’s men were eliminated from the competition after a 5-1 aggregate defeat to the Gunners from Emirates Stadium.
