In the video, she recalled his childhood and wished him luck in the remaining World Cup 2026 matches.

"My grandmother is a very important person in my life. I lived with her until I was 16," Vinicius said with a trembling voice, crying on the show.
After watching the video, the Real Madrid star confessed that despite living in a tiny apartment, his grandmother did everything to lift him up.
"I had to sleep with her. I can't find words. She is the one who drew my life path. I cherish every moment with her because I know people leave this world one day," he added.
Vinicius has scored 4 goals and provided 1 assist in 3 matches at World Cup 2026. Brazil faces Japan today in the Round of 16.
