Is Vinícius Júnior your ultimate football hero? A dazzling winger with pace, flair and fearless confidence, Vini Jr became a global star after scoring the winning goal for Real Madrid in the UEFA Champions League Final 2022, and later forming a devastating partnership with Jude Bellingham.
Vini Jr’s journey began in Brazil, where he honed his skills as a boy before catching the attention of Europe’s biggest clubs. Discover how hard work, belief and raw talent carried him to the very top – following in the footsteps of Brazilian legends and emerging as one of the most exciting attackers in world football.
Fast, fearless and impossible to ignore, Vinícius Júnior is primed to shine on the biggest stages, including the FIFA World Cup 2026.
Football Superstars is a fast-paced, highly visual series combining comic-style cartoons, clear storytelling and a lively cast of characters who add jokes, quotes and commentary throughout.
