Vinicius Jr was delighted after dominating the Super Cup final victory over Barcelona.

Real Madrid were comfortable 4-1 winners against Barcelona in Riyadh, with Vinicius Jr scoring a hat-trick.

He later said: "I'm very happy to have won the trophy today, and with the goals I scored and the way we played. I'd like to thank the physio at home, all the Real Madrid doctors and physiotherapists, my team-mates and the coach and his entire technical team. They have shown confidence in me and have given me the peace of mind I need to be at my best today. I'm not at my best yet because I've only played three games, but I'm very happy with today's performance and I want to continue like this.

"The celebration was for Cristiano (Ronaldo), who is my idol and is playing here now. The people of Arabia have shown a lot of love for me and I'm very happy about that. I'm very excited about the match with the team and what we did today. It's not easy to play against Barcelona and to win 4-1 is very difficult. We put in an almost perfect performance, we just needed to not concede that goal from Lewandowski."

Vini also spoke of his on-field discipline, "The coach helps me and teaches me and I'm learning every day, in every game. I also learn from home by looking at what I do in the games. I want to become a better person, but sometimes because I want to do the best for my team, I end up letting others down, myself and my teammates. I have to improve and continue in this direction."

“It gets me down. Everything that happens to me ends up in the press because Vini has done this or that. I try my best to remain calm and focused on the game so that I can do my best for my teammates, but sometimes it's not just me. Of course, I'm not a saint, sometimes I talk too much and dribble when I shouldn't, but I'm here to improve and to set an example to the kids who are watching me. I want to improve and the coach and my teammates are showing me what I have to do every day."
