Real Madrid and Vinicius JĂșnior Left Confused by Ballon d'Or Snub
Real Madrid and Vinicius JĂșnior's teammates have backed the Brazilian star after he lost out to Manchester City's Rodri in the race to win the 2024 men's Ballon d'Or. Vinicius, 24, had been widely expected to win the award, but finished second. Real Madrid boycotted the ceremony, with none of the club's nominees or club officials attending the event in protest. Vinicius had helped lead Madrid to a LaLiga and Champions League double last season, scoring 24 goals in all competitions. His teammates offered their support to the player on social media, with Brazil forward Richarlison calling the result 'embarrassing'.
