Vinicius Junior is making all the headlines right now. Once again, the Brazilian winger has scored in a UEFA Champions League final with Real Madrid as he’s emerging as one of the biggest stars in Europe in the era post Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo.

Just like he did in 2022 against Liverpool, Vini scored in a Champions League final during Madrid’s 2-0 victory over Borussia Dortmund at Wembley for the 2023-24 season. At 23, Vinicius already boasts two Champions League titles.

While this puts him in special territory with two wins in two Champions League finals, it also means Vinicius is already closing in on the number of Champions League titles won by Messi and Ronaldo’s UCL titles.

Lionel Messi’s Champions Leagues at Vinicius’ age

With three UEFA Champions League medals at the age of 23, Lionel Messi had one more title than Vinicius at this point of his career. However, Messi missed the 2006 final due to injury. So if we only take into account Leo’s Champions League final wins by the age of 23, he would be tied with Vinicius at two each.
