Vinicius and Real Madrid have had a complicated few days. Indeed, the Merengue received two slaps at home, against Barça in La Liga during the Clasico (4-0), and against AC Milan in the Champions League (3-1). Between his two meetings, the Brazilian experienced a big personal failure by seeing the 2024 Ballon d'Or slip away from him and end up in the hands of the Spaniard from Manchester City, Rodri. But today, Auriverde erased all that by scoring a magnificent hat-trick in the clash against Osasuna at the Bernabeu.
“A small detail”
Obviously, during the post-match press conference, his coach was invited to speak about him. And Carlo Ancelotti affirms, the failure at the Ballon d'Or was only a small detail: “Vinicius makes the difference, he did it again today, as he has done many times. The fact that he did not win the Ballon d'Or is a small detail that did not affect him, as we saw today,” he explained to the media. A way to definitively close this chapter.
