He’s unlikely to be pleased.
Real Madrid and the organizers of the Ballon d’Or continue to disagree after what many consider an unfair assessment of Vinicius Junior last year. This time, the organizers have given the Brazilian an even tougher rating.
Details: The Madrid player finished 16th in this year’s voting, placing him in the lower half. Next to him is his Barcelona rival, Robert Lewandowski, who is participating in the poll for the ninth time.
Also on the list are Scott McTominay from Napoli and Joao Neves from PSG, who finished 18th and 19th, respectively. The 20th spot went to Lautaro Martinez, recently seen in the Champions League final with Inter.
For the record: Vinicius’ Real Madrid teammate Jude Bellingham, who was third last year, is now in 23rd place. Even further down is last season’s fifth-ranked player, Erling Haaland, who ended up 26th out of 30. At the actual ceremony, Real Madrid will have very few representatives present.
