Footballers, journalists, and others in the football community rallied around Vinicius after the Ballon d’Or ceremony, where he unexpectedly lost the award to Rodri, the Spanish player from Manchester City. This outcome was seen as one of the most unusual in the award’s history.
According to Defensa Central, new Real Madrid player Alphonso Davies reached out to Vinicius, highlighting their strong friendship. Davies offered significant encouragement, stating that he considers Vinicius “the best” and looks forward to playing alongside him in Madrid next season. Many of Vinicius’s teammates also expressed their surprise at his loss through social media messages.
After a few hours, Vinicius regained his composure and was eager to prove the critics wrong. Although his season hasn’t started ideally, his current performance metrics are better than at the same time last year, providing him a chance to improve and make his mark at Real Madrid. Nevertheless, Vinicius remains focused on enhancing the team’s performance and competing for titles, even as the aspiration of winning the Ballon d’Or continues to be a cherished dream.
