Vinicius bursts into tears and asks to cut as he recalls Ajax injury for documentary

Vinicius Junior was reduced to tears in the eighth chapter of his documentary series as he recalled the biggest setback he has endured in his young career so far.

The Brazilian tore ligaments in his ankle during Real Madrid's Champions League elimination against Ajax in 2019, which reduced him to tears on the pitch as he was forced off.

The teenager's season had been going well up until that point, despite Real Madrid enduring a terrible time under Julen Lopetegui and then Santiago Solari before Zinedine Zidane returned to the club.

"Could we cut?" he asked when reflecting on that injury in his documentary series, which is called 'Vini For Real'.

"I can't talk about...," he added, before having to stand up and step away.

That injury kept Vinicius out for most of the rest of the 2018/19 season and was a major reason why he wasn't selected for Brazil's triumphant Copa America campaign.

Vinicius managed to play 15 times in LaLiga Santander in 2018/19, before the crushing injury, as well as appearing four times in the Champions League. After recovering, he only featured three more times - all in LaLiga Santander - for Los Blancos before the summer.

In his eight Copa del Rey appearances that season, he contributed seven assists and scored two goals.
