    Vinicius netted twice in quick succession to stun Barcelona in the first 10 minutes of the Spanish Super Cup final in Saudi Arabia. After just six minutes, he raced on to a Jude Bellingham through ball, rounded goalkeeper Inaki Pena, and finished coolly into the open goal. In celebration, the Brazil international pulled out Ronaldo's trademark 'Siuuu' celebration.

    And he added a second in the ninth minute, as Rodrygo burst beyond the Barcelona backline, sprinted into the area, and squared for his countryman to finish at the back post. Robert Lewandowski pulled a goal back before half-time for Barca, but Vinicius had the last word, netting a penalty before half-time to complete a stunning hat-trick.
