Manchester City and England defender talks about his matchup against Vinicius.
Manchester City right-back Kyle Walker has once again handled the task of dealing with Vinicius well, even better than the last outing, and he has explained how he achieved it.
Real Madrid were on the wrong end of a 4-0 thrashing at the Etihad Stadium as Manchester City dumped them out of the Champions League.
The match in brief
Bernardo Silva's goal in the game's 23rd minute gave the hosts the advantage after they took control early on. In the game's 37th minute, the midfielder added a second goal with a close-range header.
In the 76th minute, Manchester City scored a third goal from a set piece, and Julian Alvarez completed the scoring in the 91st.

What Walker said
The England international is confident in his own abilities and backed himself in the duel against Vinicius Junior.
Walker identified that he has a physical advantage over the Brazilian and exploited it as he shut down Vinicius on the night, limiting him to no shots on target, dribbles completed, or even chances created.
"You've got to have a bit of arrogance like the attackers do, I believe in my pace and I go toe to toe with them,” he said, per the BBC.
“I believe I am bigger than him and can use my physical dominance. He's fantastic but you have to use your strengths. I just made it as difficult as possibly could for him."
