Real Madrid star Vinicius Jr. made a bold promise on social media after Rodri of Manchester City beat him to the Ballon d’Or.
Rodri won the Ballon d’Or, and Vinicius Jr. responded on X by saying, “I’ll do it 10 times if I have to.” “I’ll do it 10 times if I have to,” the Real Madrid star wrote. “They’re not ready,” in a social media post that went popular right away.
It looked like Vinicius was going to win his first Ballon d’Or until Monday afternoon, when it was said that the Brazilian and some Real Madrid players weren’t going to the speech in Paris. They must have heard about Rodri’s success because they, along with head coach Carlo Ancelotti, chose not to go to the event.
After coming in second place in the voting, Vinicius has already gotten a lot of support from his Real Madrid teammates. Eduardo Camavinga gave the most passionate reaction.
