A true pro: Vinicius Junior shows his post-match recovery routine
Real Madrid star Vinicius Junior knows that an outstanding performance on the football pitch largely depends on proper recovery. The Brazilian showcased in his Instagram story the methods he uses to recuperate after grueling matches.
The footballer shared a collage of several photos displaying the procedures he employs for his recovery. Vinicius can be seen working out on a stationary bike, lifting weights, and recovering in a sauna, as well as what appears to be an ice bath or pool.
In this way, Vini demonstrates that he remains a true professional, maintaining his body in peak condition. It's no wonder that after such recovery, the Brazilian steps onto the football field and delivers an exceptional performance.
Although the previous Champions League match against city rivals Atletico wasn't particularly successful for Vinicius, with no goal contributions, his team managed to secure a 2-1 victory, giving them a slightly better chance at advancing to the tournament's quarterfinals than their neighboring rivals. The second leg between Atletico and Real is set for March 12.
