Real Madrid & AC Milan stars in attendance as Vinícius Jr. holds charity event
A number of recognisable faces from the football world were in attendance this week, as Real Madrid star Vinícius Jr. held a charity event in his home country of Brazil.
The initiative was organised to aid children in need, proving to be a huge success in raising much-needed funds.
This comes with a whole host of signed football memorabilia having been auctioned off in front of a packed crowed.
From Real Madrid, a number of Vinícius’ teammates made the trip to the ceremony, to showcase their support for the explosive wide-man.
Amongst the attendees were the likes of Eduardo Camavinga, Ferland Mendy, and Éder Militão.
The latter forked out a hefty €35,000 for a doll, a touch of class on the part of Vini’s fellow countryman.
