    Vinícius Jr. Deserved Ballon D’Or – Cristiano Ronaldo

    Cristiano Ronaldo has criticised Vinícius Jr.’s omission from the Ballon d’Or win, describing it as “unfair” and praising the integrity of the Globe Soccer Awards.

    Speaking at the 2024 Globe Soccer Awards, where Vinícius won the Best Men’s Player accolade, Ronaldo remarked, “Vinícius Jr. should have won the Ballon d’Or. In my opinion, it was clear. It was unfair. This is why I love the Globe Soccer Awards; they are honest.”

    The ceremony celebrated football’s finest, with Real Madrid’s Vinícius Jr. also claiming the Best Forward award after an extraordinary season.

    Jude Bellingham, another Real Madrid star, took home the Best Midfielder award as well as the Maradona Award, cementing his growing reputation in the sport.

    Neymar Jr. was honoured with the Player Career Award, recognising his exceptional contributions to football, while Barcelona’s Lamine Yamal was named Best Emerging Talent, underscoring his bright future.

    Cristiano Ronaldo himself received recognition as the Top Goalscorer of All Time, further solidifying his legendary status.

    Other notable winners at the event included:

    • Best Agent: Jorge Mendes
    • Best Coach: Carlo Ancelotti
    • Special Career Award: Florentino Pérez
    • Best Club: Real Madrid
    • Best Women’s Player: Aitana Bonmatí
    • Best Women’s Club: FC Barcelona Femení

    Meanwhile, the Ballon d’Or was awarded to Manchester City and Spain midfielder Rodri for his pivotal role in winning the Premier League and leading Spain to Euro 2024 glory.

    Real Madrid, however, boycotted the Ballon d’Or ceremony, accusing its organisers of disrespecting Vinícius.

    Despite Rodri’s impressive achievements, including being named Player of the Tournament at Euro 2024, his victory surprised many, as Vinícius was widely considered the pre-ceremony favourite following Real Madrid’s La Liga and Champions League double.
