Portugal captain Cristiano Ronaldo has claimed that Real Madrid’s Vinicius Junior should have won the 2024 Ballon d’Or.
Ronaldo spoke at the 2024 Globe Soccer Awards on Friday evening in Dubai.
According to him, it’s unfair that the Brazilian didn’t win the award.
Vinicius came second behind Manchester City midfielder Rodri, who won the 2024 Ballon d’Or in Paris in October.
Rodri got the highest votes and as a result, Vinicius and Real Madrid officials boycotted the Ballon d’Or awards ceremony.
“Vinicius Jr should have won the Ballon d’Or, in my opinion, it was clear,” Ronaldo said.
“It was unfair. This is why I love Globe Soccer Awards; they are honest.”
