Vinicius Jr on Netflix! Real Madrid superstar latest sports hero to make biographical documentary charting life and career

Streaming giant Netflix has announced a new documentary will be released in 2025 which promises an in-depth look into the life and career of Vini Jr. The 24-year-old is currently one of the biggest stars in the game, particularly after a season where he played a starring role in Real Madrid's La Liga and Champions League wins.

Fans will therefore be able to get a behind-the-scenes glimpse into Vinicius's life and how he made it all the way from Sao Gonçalo in Brazil to the Santiago Bernabeu. The forward has gone on to win a host of titles during his career with Los Blancos and narrowly missed out on clinching the Ballon d'Or in 2024. The decision to award the prestigious prize to Manchester City's Rodri instead did not go down well with Vinicius Jr or Real Madrid, who boycotted the ceremony, although it remains to be seen if the documentary will also cover the controversy.

Vinicius is not the only footballer set to feature in an upcoming documentary. Manchester United legend Wayne Rooney is also set to star in a Wrexham-style documentary after taking charge at Plymouth.

Vinicius Jr will be hoping to add more titles to his collection with Real Madrid this season. Los Blancos currently sit second in La Liga, six points behind rivals Barcelona, and return to action after the international break on Sunday against Leganes.
