'Yes sir!' - Vinicius Jr makes trophy pledge to Real Madrid fans after failing to retain La Liga & Champions League as Los Blancos prepare for FIFA Club World Cup

The Blancos enjoyed a memorable 2024, capturing La Liga and Champions League titles - with Vinicius on target in a 2-0 European Cup final victory over Borussia Dortmund. Real went on to land UEFA Super Cup and FIFA Intercontinental Cup honours.

The 2024-25 campaign would, however, end with domestic and continental crowns being surrendered to Clasico rivals Barcelona and Ligue 1 giants Paris Saint-Germain respectively. A change in the dugout at Santiago Bernabeu has seen managerial reins passed from Carlo Ancelotti to Xabi Alonso.

His first piece of business will be chasing down FIFA Club World Cup glory, with moves in the transfer market having already been made as Trent Alexander-Arnold and Dean Huijsen join the ‘Galacticos’ in Madrid.

Vinicius is expecting to get back on the trophy trail as soon as possible, with the plan being to complete a clean sweep of La Liga, Copa del Rey and Champions League honours. The Brazil international forward responded to a "Treble this season" question on social media by saying: "Yes sir."

Real are due to get their Club World Cup campaign up and running against Saudi Pro League side Al-Hilal on Wednesday. They are hoping that Vinicius will sign a new contract at some point this summer after seeing the South American superstar heavily linked with a big-money move to the Middle East.
