Real Madrid attacker Vinicius Jr was full of pride reaching the Champions League final.

Real are into the final 4-3 on aggregate as Joselu struck twice in the final minutes to win the second-leg 2-1.

Vinicius Jr said: I'm so proud to wear this jersey and to be able to play so often at this stadium. This is Real Madrid, we never give up. We always believe in ourselves and we know our fans will be there supporting us. It's happened again and now we're going for the 15th European Cup.

When we're playing at home we feel like we can do anything. Our families are here, we feel the togetherness of this team, and that will always make the difference.

I always say, we want to win whatever it takes. If I have to drop back and defend to help my team win, I will do it. The same goes for Bellingham and Rodrygo. We're the ones who have to score the goals but we drop in to make it to another final, just like we've done in every game to get here.

I'm privileged to be able to play every game in this jersey. It's a dream come true to play football and especially at Real Madrid. I come from So Gonalo, a part of Brazil, on the other side of the world. People don't tend to get out of there and to be able to come out and be making history with this team, with my family nearby, and these fans who love me so much... Everything I do is for them."
