    Rodri is 2024 Ballon d'Or winner, beating Vini Jr and Bellingham to the award.



    Real Madrid boycotted cause the results were leaked beforehand, even though they won club and manager of the year. Whiny *.

    Think he deserves it over Vini personally whose reaction to it is a complete and utter embarrassment. If they were doing it properly, despite his age there still isn’t a better player than messi however he was never going to win it.

    Madrid have really thrown the toys out the pram. Vinicius is a great player but is still immature as *.

    I don't think a player in the MLS should to be honest unless they've had an amazing World Cup.

    Petty from Real Madrid. I do think Vinicius is a good player but he's a diving *, has a poor temperament and I don't think you can be the best in the world with those issues.

    The thing that baffles me is that they won men's team of the year and manager of the year. Yet cause Rodri (who is the best player of their own National Team) won ahead of Vini Jr, they've been disrespected.

    Laughing stock, Vini Jr has lost alot of respect. Look at Haaland last season, lost and tweeted congrats to Messi, respectful.
