Official: Rodrygo Goes to No. 11 as Vinicius Jr. Takes No. 7 at Real Madrid

Vinicius Júnior will be sporting the number 7 shirt for Real Madrid in the upcoming season, which he will be taking over from Eden Hazard.

The number 7 shirt is an iconic shirt number across many clubs, and has been worn by some of the greats of Real Madrid, including Cristiano Ronaldo, Raúl, and Kopa.

Vinicius Jr has been performing at a high level and has been trusted by the club, as evidenced by his contribution to the club’s Champions League final win in 2022. In addition, Rodrygo, another Brazilian player, will also be switching his shirt number from 21 to 11, which is a clear indication of the club’s belief in his abilities.

Meanwhile, Fran Garcia will be wearing the number 20 shirt for Real Madrid in the upcoming season.

Vinicius Jr, who was brought to Europe as a teenager by Real Madrid for a high transfer fee, is expected to play a crucial role in the club’s future, and his recent performances suggest that he is well on his way to doing so.
