In a video shared on social media, the footballer was spotted running to the rapper to share his success with him as they took an iconic selfie together with friends.

The 23-year-old dazzled on the night, showing enormous quality and brilliance, which has seen him pop up in the Ballon d'Or conversation. Vinicius Jr was by far the best player on the night in London.

Meanwhile, defender Dani Carvajal opened the scoring for the Spanish giants after a barren first half, connecting to a Toni Kroos corner with 15 minutes remaining. Vini then sealed victory with seven minutes left on the clock.

Real Madrid have won the title twice in the last three years with the Brazilian playmaker scoring in both finals.

In the UEFA Champions League this season, Vinicius Jr has scored six goals and delivered five assists in 10 matches, per Transfermarkt.
