Updated on 12/06/2023 07:10 EDT Vinicius has chosen to give up his No. 20 shirt and take on the legendary No. 7, which has been worn by some of the greatest players in Real Madrid’s history, such as Cristiano Ronaldo, Butragueño, Juanito, and Amancio. Vinicius had some doubts about taking on such a prestigious number, but he finally decided to embrace the challenge.
Rodrygo, on the other hand, has left behind his No. 21 and picked up the No. 11 that belonged to Marco Asensio. Rodrygo will now wear a number that has also been associated with some of the best players in Real Madrid’s history, such as Bale, Ronaldo Nazario, Benzema, and even Cristiano Ronaldo, who wore it briefly during Raúl’s tribute match, allowing the Spaniard to wear the No. 7 instead.
