Vinicius Junior spoke out on social media after finishing second in the Ballon d’Or race.
For weeks, expectations were high for Vinicius Junior regarding the 2024 Ballon d’Or. As a key player for Real Madrid, his outstanding performances suggested he might win this prestigious award. However, unexpectedly, it was Rodri, the talented Spanish midfielder from Manchester City, who was named the best player in the world.
Earlier in the day, rumors began to circulate, gaining momentum and prompting a notable reaction from Real Madrid. In protest, the club chose to boycott the ceremony, sending neither representatives nor players. This gesture was seen as a response to the speculation and a clear show of support for Vinicius.
Moments after Rodri’s victory was announced, Vinicius took to X to share a powerful and determined message. “I will do it ten times if necessary. They are not ready,” he wrote, expressing his commitment to persevere and come back even stronger.
This message indicates that, despite his disappointment, the Brazilian is ready to move forward and intensify his efforts to continue making history in football.
