Real Madrid's Brazilian pair Vinicius Junior and Rodrigo Goes will wear new shirt numbers next season.

Vinicius leaves the '20' to wear the '7', one of the mythical numbers of Real Madrid that Cristiano Ronaldo, Emilio Butragueo, Juanito and Amancio have worn, among others.

There were doubts Vini Jr would give up the No20, but he now has with Eden Hazard vacating the No7 shirt.

Rodrygo, for his part, will leave the No21 to take the No11 that Marco Asensio vacates.

The Brazilian will wear the number that, among others, Gareth Bale, Ronaldo Nazario and Karim Benzema have worn.
