Real Madrid winger Vinicius Jnr took to social media to react to him losing out in the Ballon d’Or voting behind Manchester City’s Rodri.
In an X post reacting to the results, Vinicius Jnr, vowed to repeat his own campaign “ten times” over if he needed to, to earn recognition and take home a Ballon d’Or.
Vinicius Jnr has been seen as the favourite to win for most of the build-up towards the France Football ceremony in Paris on Monday night, but shortly beforehand, rumours emerged that Rodri had in fact claimed top spot in voting.
That led to Real Madrid opting against travelling with a delegation for the awards night, as is usually done, meaning even though they won in best men’s team, best coach (Carlo Ancelotti) and a shared award of the Gerd Muller trophy (Kylian Mbappe), nobody from the Santiago Bernabeu club was on hand to receive any awards, nor were any recorded messages sent in.
Eu farei 10x se for preciso. Eles não estão preparados.
