Real Madrid superstar Vinicius Junior made the day of a young fan by gifting him his jersey at the Camping World Stadium in Orlando, Florida. The Brazil star is Madrid's best player and is quickly becoming a fan favorite.

Just before the game, Vinicius was heading to the dressing room when he spotted a young fan shouting his name in the stands. He removed his training jersey and gave it to the young fan, who was overcome with emotion, as the viral video posted on Tiktok by ESPN FC showed.

The young fan briefly processed the unforgettable moment before taking a photo with the jersey. It was a moment the young fan will never forget, especially since Madrid are headed back to Spain after concluding their pre-season tour of the USA.

Ancelotti on Madrid's biggest problem

Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti recently revealed the biggest problem his team faces ahead of the new season. They have scored six goals from 91 shots in pre-season.

"Offensively, there are no problems, but we have to sort it out defensively. It's an easy problem to solve. There are things we have to try in this period, and it has been quite clear what we need to fix things."

The Los Blancos have had an indifferent pre-season. They beat AC Milan and Manchester United but have lost to arch-rivals Barcelona and now Juventus. They have conceded eight goals in the four games, something which concerns Ancelotti.

Vinicius on getting No. 7

Sports Brief earlier reported on Vinicius Jr. opening up after being handed the No. 7 shirt, which was worn by Madrid icon, Cristiano Ronaldo.

He scored the winning goal for Real against AC Milan while wearing the famous jersey.

"Cristiano Ronaldo is an idol for me, I watched every game of his at Real Madrid. Wearing this shirt for me is a dream."
