Yesterday we undoubtedly had one of the Ballon d’Or galas most media coverage in recent years, marked more than ever by controversy. For several weeks now, the majority of sports media in Spain were already giving the winner of this individual award to Vinicius Jr. Even sources close to the club mentioned that the Brazilian He would show the trophy the following week in the league match against Valencia at Mestalla.
However, the story ended up being very different from reality, and from the first hour of the afternoon very shocking information began to emerge. From France and the media in the white capital they claimed that Vinicius was not going to win the Ballon d’Or, and this was confirmed when we learned that he was not traveling to Paris. Just like him, No other personality from the institution was present in the French capital, and they did not collect the different awards such as the award for best club in the world.
Vini’s response after the gala
Although within the entire ceremony there were other great prizes and attractions, without a doubt The most anticipated moment was the awarding of the Ballon d’Or. They were not in the room Bellingham, Vinicius, Carvajal, three of the four finalists to take the prize. The only one who was there was Rodri, the Manchester City and Spanish national team midfielder, who ended up being named best player of last season to applause.
The room was filled with respect and admiration for the player, Although through social networks, Vini Jr once again used victimhood to be the media focus. And through a tweet, the Real Madrid footballer said the following, “I will do 10 times if necessary, they are not prepared.” So, instead of congratulating Rodrigo for the award, he preferred to throw ‘tantrums’ like a small child, showing a very arrogant behavior to which we are already completely accustomed.

Up to 100 journalists from around the world participate in this award, with a series of criteria that range from football to other factors such as fairplay. In terms of football, Vini Jr could be the best player in the world, but without a doubt what has caused him to lose has been the second factor. Rodri ran his hand over his face, leaving him completely portrayed, showing humble behavior and commendable character in his speech after winning the Ballon d’Or.
In addition, he had time to remember other colleagues, such as Lamine Yamal, to whom he told that in the coming years he would be the one receiving this great award. For many, yesterday “football won”, although others continue to use conspiracies to avoid accepting reality.
