“Put Rodri’s hat-trick on the table!”, “What a player” - X goes wild as Vinicius Jr nets hat-trick for Real Madrid in 4-0 win over Osasuna
Real Madrid fans on X have hailed Vinicius Junior after he scored a brilliant hat-trick during their 4-0 win against Osasuna. The two sides faced off in their LaLiga clash at the Santiago Bernabeu on Saturday, November 9.
Los Blancos were dealt a massive blow in the early stages of the first half when Rodrygo and Eder Militao were forced off with what appeared to be serious injuries. Fortunately, they showed great perseverance and broke the deadlock in the 34th minute via Vinicius' excellent finish.
Jude Bellingham coolly lofted the ball over the keeper to double their advantage eight minutes later. However, Real Madrid suffered their third casualty of the game when Lucas Vasquez was subbed off during the break for Luka Modric due to a knock.
Vinicius rounded the keeper and tapped home in the 61st minute to make it 3-0, before completing his hat-trick eight minutes later with a simple finish. Fans were left stunned by his display as one posted:
"Robbed of the Ballon d'Or and responds with this. What a player."

"Vini is just wow," another added.
