How the Vinícius Júnior quiz is checked

Every question above was written by hand and verified before it went live.

All 30 Vinícius Júnior questions were checked twice before publication — once against the claim the question makes, and once against the wrong answers offered beside it. A question whose wrong options can be dismissed without knowing any football is not really a question, so those get rewritten or dropped rather than padded out. Anything that could not be confirmed was removed rather than guessed, which is why some sets are smaller than others. Every one of them carries a written explanation. Spot something wrong and tell us — corrections from players are how the bank stays accurate.

About the Vinícius Júnior quiz

Vinícius Júnior was sixteen when he made his Flamengo debut and Real Madrid had already agreed to sign him. This free Vinícius quiz follows the whole route from São Gonçalo: the May 2017 debut against Atlético Mineiro, the 2017 agreement that could only take effect after his eighteenth birthday in July 2018, and the years at the Bernabéu that turned a raw winger into a Champions League final match-winner.

The 2022 final is here — the only goal against Liverpool in Paris, scored wearing 20 — along with the switch to number 7 in 2023-24 after Eden Hazard left, and the Champions League Player of the Season and The Best FIFA awards that followed.

One thing the quiz deliberately avoids: his first Real Madrid goal is genuinely disputed between sources, with one widely-cited strike logged elsewhere as an own goal. Where a fact is contested, we leave it out rather than pick a side.

Every answer is explained. Free, no sign-up, and the Real Madrid and La Liga quizzes carry on from here.
