Real Madrid attacker, Vinicius Jr has said that he is at his best right now.

The Brazilian is in the midst of a decent season with Los Blancos, having scored 17 goals and 12 assists in 35 games across competitions.

Nine of those goals and seven assists have come in 20 La Liga outings.

“I’m at my best right now. I had injuries. With so many games you can’t be 100% in all of them,” he told the press ahead Real Madrid clash with Atletico Madrid in the first leg of the Champions League Round of sixteen at Santiago Bernabeu.

The Real beat their neighbours 2-1 to take a slim advantage into the second coming up next week .

“Playing 80 games you can’t always be at your best. You’re not always in your head and you’re not always physically fit.

A lot of players are playing with injuries.

“I think my season is going well. It’s normal that people demand more from me and want more from me.

But now comes the decisive moment of the season and at Madrid we play better at this stage of the season,” he added.

Real Madrid were defeated 2-1 by Real Betis in the La Liga at the weekend.
