Vinicius explains why it was 'easy' to score against Bayern Munich

Vinicius Junior said it was "easy" to score the opening goal of Tuesday's Champions League semi-final first leg against Bayern Munich because of the pass from Toni Kroos that set it up.

"Toni always makes things easy," Vinicius told host broadcaster Movistar. "He gifted me a goal. We practice a lot together in training.

"I know Toni very well, and he knows me. I'm very happy to have scored two goals. Now we need a magic night at home."

Vini broke the deadlock in the 24th minute, becoming only the fourth player in Champions League history to score a semi-final goal in three successive seasons after Jari Litmanen, Cristiano Ronaldo and Kevin De Bruyne.

He finished with composure beyond the on-rushing Manuel Neuer with his right foot.
