The fleet-footed Brazilian scored a brilliant hat-trick and also contributed the assist for Karim Benzema's goal.

Vinicius was simply unstoppable at the Santiago Bernabeu and his numbers for the season now make for great reading if you're a Real Madrid fan.

The former Flamengo forward has 21 goals and 20 assists to his name across all competitions in 2021/22, a return that's right up there with the very best in the business.

Neymar (x3) and Lampard (x2) are the other players who pop up on multiple occasions.
