There is no longer any doubt: Vinicius Jr is considered one of the best players on the planet. If not the best. The general indignation when he did not receive the last Ballon d'Or is proof that in the eyes of all football fans, he has become an absolute reference. The time of mockery and memes about him on social networks is now far away, and the Brazilian is today the headliner of the most prestigious club on the planet. And this year 2025 promises to be particularly interesting for him.

First, there are obviously the challenges to face in the club. There is no doubt that the Brazilian will still want to win everything with Real Madrid, after this successful year 2024. But we can say it, he has nothing more to prove and even if he were to underperform in the Champions League in particular, his status and his level would not immediately be called into question. On the other hand, in the race for the Ballon d'Or, Vinicius Jr knows that he is already the favorite and that good performances under the merengue tunic would offer him the Holy Grail of individual distinctions automatically, especially since he does not There is no major international competition this year. His “rivalry” with his teammates Kylian Mbappé and Jude Bellingham for this BO 2025 may be particularly interesting to follow, and at the start of the 2024/2025 season, the Brazilian is already above the Frenchman and the English.

If his level on the pitch no longer raises any doubt, the Madrilenian has probably noticed that he still needs to work on his image off the field. The Brazilian is actually not yet as attractive as other players like his teammate Kylian Mbappé for brands and sponsors, or on a media level. As indicated Reliefhis trip to the United States during these holidays was not just for purely tourist purposes. Behind these holidays in the Big Apple, there is also a desire to show off and develop one's image. Hence his notable appearances at the edge of the floor in the legendary Madison Square Garden for a New York Knicks (NBA) match or during a Miami Dolphins (NFL) match.

His photo with the singer Rihanna which made the rounds on the networks also goes in this direction. Vinicius Jr actually knows that a Ballon d'Or and that the global recognition of the football public is no longer won only, in 2024 almost 2025, on the pitch. This is also a big issue for Real Madrid, since the player and the club share the player's image rights. The more the 24-year-old striker builds his brand and popularity, the more money he is likely to bring in money for the Spanish capital club. come therefore knows that it is no longer only on the pitch of the Bernabéu and on the rest of European pitches that he is expected…
