Recent reports indicate that Real Madrid are making significant preparations to celebrate Vinicius Jr’s anticipated win of the Ballon d’Or.
According to journalist Rodra (h/t RM4 Arab), the club has already begun organizing a trip to Paris for the ceremony, ensuring that Vinicius receives the recognition he deserves for his outstanding performance over the past year.
Vinicius had an impressive campaign last term, playing 39 matches for Real Madrid, during which he scored 24 goals and provided 11 assists.
His contributions were vital, particularly in the UEFA Champions League final, where he played a crucial role in securing the title for the team.
Throughout the season, he proved to be a driving force for Carlo Ancelotti’s squad, helping them navigate the challenging stages of both domestic and international competitions.
Still No. 1 in Real Madrid
Winning the Ballon d’Or will not only confirm Vinicius as one of the best players in the world over the past year but will also enhance his stature on a global scale.
Currently, he holds a prominent position within the Real Madrid team, being regarded as a key player despite the recent additions of Kylian Mbappe and the rise of Jude Bellingham.
Vinicius continues to assert his importance in the squad, taking on responsibilities such as being the primary penalty taker and serving as a leader on the pitch, showcasing his strong character and commitment to the team.
Dedication off the field
Beyond his footballing prowess, Vinicius Jr is dedicated to making a positive impact on society through sport.
He is actively working to combat racism and has already received the Socrates Award at the last Ballon d’Or ceremony for his efforts.
As he prepares to accept the Ballon d’Or, he aims to leverage this prestigious accolade to further amplify his message against racism and inspire others.
His commitment to this cause highlights not only his talent on the field but also his desire to effect meaningful change in the world.
