The Brazilian posted a laconic comment on social networks.
Real Madrid forward Vinicius Junior reacted to the announcement of the winner of the “Golden ball-2024”.
Manchester City and Spain midfielder Rodri has been named the best footballer in the world in 2024 by France Football magazine.
After the voting results were announced, the 24-year-old Brazilian, who was considered the main favorite for the award until the last moment, published a laconic comment on the X social network.
“I'll do it 10 times if necessary. They're not ready,” the Los Blancos star player wrote.
It's worth noting that Vinicius Junior won the Spanish championship and the Champions League with Real Madrid in the 2023/24 season.
Rodri became the champion of England with Manchester City, and won Euro 2024 with the Spanish national team. He was recognized as the best player of the continental championship.
By the way, Real boycotted the Golden Ball ceremony after learning that Vinicius Junior would not receive the main prize. Not a single representative of the Madrid club arrived at the gala event in Paris.
Rodri won the Golden Ball for the first time in his career. The record holder for the number of Golden Balls won remains Inter Miami and Argentina national team forward Lionel Messi, who received this prize eight times (2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, 2015, 2019, 2021, 2023).
The closest pursuer of the Argentine is Al-Nassr and Portugal national team forward Cristiano Ronaldo, who was recognized as the best footballer in the world five times (2008, 2013, 2014, 2016, 2017).
Earlier it was reported that the winners of the Golden Ball-2024 football award in all nominations have been determined.
