Real Madrid believe there is “no other possibility” than to see Vinicius Junior win the 2024 Ballon d’Or.
The 2024 Ballon d’Or awards ceremony will take place on Monday October 28 in Paris, where football’s best players will be rewarded for their achievements last season. Vinicius Junior is the favorite for this award and reports from Spain suggest his victory is a foregone conclusion.
Spanish outlet AS claimed Vinicius would win the award and there was little doubt among Real Madrid’s squad, despite competition from Manchester City midfielder Rodri and club team-mate Jude Bellingham.
“Next Monday, October 28, he (Vinicius Junior) will receive his first Ballon d’Or at the Châtelet in Paris. There is still no official confirmation; not even any leaks. But if the term vox populi was coined for any situation, it was this. Within Real Madrid, they say there is no other possibility. They take it for granted that he will win”writes AS.
The 24-year-old scored 24 goals and provided 11 assists in all competitions in 2023/24, as Real Madrid won the La Liga-Champions League double.
He was crucial to Carlo Ancelotti’s side’s success in the latter match, scoring twice in the semi-final win over Bayern Munich and again in the final as Borussia Dortmund lost at Wembley . Vinicius was named UEFA Champions League Player of the Season for his performances in Europe.
