Vinicius Junior, a winger for Le Selecao and Real Madrid, is not a credible Balon D’Or candidate, according to highly regarded journalist Bruno Porzio.

The award ceremony which held at Paris on the night of the 28th October, 2024 was expected by the football communit to decide in favour of the electric Brazilian winger who had a meritable 2023/24 season until the early morning of that day when media releases reported a U-turn in the body’s decision.
Many football fans opined that the award was taken from Vinicius not because of Rodri’s footballing merits or trophies but on Vinicius’ assumed on-field classlessness, clash with players and refrees, Florentino Perez’s waning influence on the award body and the 4-0 thrashing at the Bernabeu by arch rivals, Barcelona.
