Vinicius joined Los Blancos as a teenager from Flamengo in the summer of 2018 but really came into his own last season, scoring 22 goals and making 16 assists from 52 appearances across all competitions.
The 22-year-old reserved his most important goal for the Champions League final, scoring the only goal in Paris against Liverpool as Real Madrid were crowned European kings for the 14th time in their history.
That goal will also see Carlo Ancelotti's side compete against Europa League holders Eintracht Frankfurt in the UEFA Super Cup in Helsinki on Wednesday.
The likes of Karim Benzema, Luka Modric and Toni Kroos in the current Madrid squad have five Champions League titles to their name and ahead of the game against the Germans, Vinicius has set his sights on catching up to his seniors.
"It is very important to try to win as many games as possible, especially if you want to win competitions as important as the UEFA Super Cup," he told UEFA's official website.
"We will do all we can to win the first piece of silverware on offer in the season.
"I look up to the players who have achieved so much at this club, who achieved those things at the biggest club in the world.
"Of course, I want to keep winning here and play for a long time to win as much as them – to win five or six [Champions Leagues] – and to try to be as influential as some of the greatest players to have worn the Real Madrid shirt."
Vinicius also reflected on Real Madrid's incredible run to European glory last term, which included some memorable comebacks along the way.
"That's just in the DNA of this club and this shirt, always turning up in important games, players who know how to approach games in this competition, so I believe that it was a bit of everything," he added.
"Some of the games were emotional rollercoasters and everything seemed to go our way.
"My favourite moment? The game against [Manchester] City here at the Bernabeu. In two minutes, Rodrygo came on and scored two goals which took us to the final.
"The most important moment of the competition, I believe, was the City game."
