The biggest Brazilians’ competition were allegedly his Real Madrid teammates Dani Carvajal, Kylian Mbappe, and Jude Bellingham, as well as Man City’s midfielder Rodri.Still, Los Blancos’ forward will be “the chosen one,” given that he won the Champions League, La Liga, and Supercopa de Espana, scoring 26 and assisting for 12 goals. Moreover, he was the most deserving of Real’s 15th UCL trophy, for which he was named the best player in the competition.‘Vinicius is s**t as a person, and Madrid is ‘Immigrants‘ team‘Ever since Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi’s Ballon d’Or era started in 2008, the duo won 13 awards (CR7 five and Leo eight). Hence, Vini will be only the third different winner throughout the past 16 years – excluding the Portuguese and the Argentinian – after Luka Modric (2018) and Karim Benzema (2022), who were also Real Madrid’s players. In addition, the 24-year-old will be the fourth Ballon d’Or winner from Brazil, alongside Ronaldo Nazario (1997 and 2002), Rivaldo (1999), and Kaka (2007).LA LIGA – MATCHDAY 7Tuesday20:00: (2.10) Valencia (3.20) Osasuna (4.20)20:00: (1.70) Sevilla (3.60) Valladolid (5.30)22:00: (1.20) Real Madrid (6.75) Alaves (14.0)Wednesday20:00: (1.80) Girona (3.50) Rayo Vallecano (4.70)22:00: (1.25) Barcelona (6.00) Getafe (11.0)Thursday20:00: (3.35) Espanyol (3.45) Villareal (2.15)20:00: (3.15) Las Palmas (3.35) Betis (2.45)20:00: (4.20) Celta (3.60) Atl.Madrid (1.95)***odds are subject to change***
