Impact Vinicius was once again very dangerous on Tuesday, and he won the penalty kick that Karim Benzema put away. But this loss against Sheriff will sting, and he will want to do better when he returns to La Liga on Sunday against Espanyol, which have conceded seven goals in as many matches this season.

With five goals in five games, Vinicius is keeping pace at the top of the league goalscoring charts (also with Benzema) and should be a worthwhile target when starting. Up next is a visit from Mallorca, which concede a high rate of touches to attacking players.

Scores in win Vinicius scored one goal from four shots (three on goal) and created two chances during Sunday's 5-2 win over Celta Vigo.

Impact Vinicius has already scored four goals in four games despite only starting in two of them.

Scores off bench in win Vinicius scored one goal from two shots (both on goal) in 24 minutes off the bench during Saturday's 4-1 win over Deportivo Alaves.

Impact Vinicius has begun the season as Eden Hazard's backup on the left wing, but that situation is sure to change if he keeps getting goals in limited minutes. Figuring out this situation will be the biggest key to the Brazilian's value, and even more important if Hazard manages to stay healthy. Up next is a trip to Levante.

Creates one chance in win Vinicius created one chance from four crosses (zero accurate) and put one shot off target in 59 minutes of Sunday's 1-0 win over Athletic Club.

Impact Vinicius has started each of the last six matches in all competitions but only has eight shots and 12 crosses to show for his efforts. Seeing as Marco Asensio has been relegated back to the bench and Eden Hazard has been entering games as a replacement for Rodrygo on the other wing, Vinicius will still hope to be a starter for the season finale against Villarreal and likely hold low value for an attacker.
