The ballon dor is awarded to the best player year round not just a couple months. Rodri been consistent the whole year he showed it with man city and Spain.

23 goals and 13 assists is very good but nowhere near enough to win the Ballon D’Or. When Messi had a ‘bad’ season at PSG, he still had more goal involvements than him. Now that I’ve seen Vini and Real’s reaction, I’m so happy that he didn’t win.

@@Luis-kv8zc so why wasnt he ranked at least 2nd? Thats because as much as defensive mids get less recognition than strikers, defenders get even less. better question why wasnt he ranked 3rd over jude? I have no idea how jude ranked that high, yes he was clutch, but it was more press and hype around him.
@@Luis-kv8zcthis is an individual award, yes team success plays a factor hence why a player like carvajal was 4th. But come on, he's a right back, spain could've played Jordi alba at right back and still won the tournament, madrid could've played lucas vasquez at rb and still won champions league. He was not important for his team.
I feel its totally deserved by Rodri. He's so good every game, completely dominates the midfield for both club and country while making it look easy, and is even scoring goals when his team needs him to. Ofc Vini's pace and dribbling and ability to decide games is much easier to appreciate, and therefore will appeal much more to more viewers, and also I will say it's very close. However Rodri, for me, delivers world class performances every game, showing a level as a controlling midfielder we haven't seen in many years, and truly does deserve his praise.
The fact that people are saying Rodri shouldn’t haven’t won it like bro have you not seen how clutch he was and also it’s good that a position other than forwards win it every year a nice change like give it other positions that deserve it.
@@aleksandre9711 not even spains best fullback in euros let alone player, not even Madrids top 3 players last season. He deserves candidate but not top 5. Lautaro deserved way more. Even Wirtz
@@Nachimento not the best fullback according to who? If we are going that way Rodri wasn’t best midfielder for spain. Carvajal was best right back in UCL and La Liga too.
Even tho he deserved it ,the fact that the madrid players did not show up is disrespectful ,even at the height of the rivalry between messi and ronaldo they both showed up even when they lost .
Nick are you ok ? Vinis mentality is what doesnt won him the award. He is crying, diving, bitching EVERY SINGLE GAME ! He´s so disrespectful to other players EVERY SINGLE GAME. How in the world someone thinks Vini deserved to win the ballon dor. And by the way... am i the only one who thinks vini isnt aaaall that crazy
Rodri and vini both deserve it in their own ways. I am a city fan so I'm absolutely ecstatic that Rodri won. He was by far the best cdm in the world and was integral in everything that occurred for his club and his country. People don't love that he won it because he isn't a goalscorer. With that being said, the Balon d'or is bs these days. It's been bs since Lewa was robbed and even before that. Imo there should be a best Defender, midfielder and attacker but even that won't change the fact that it's just a popularity contest. I can 100 agree that vini had an amazing season himself and I wouldn't have batted an eye if HE won it.
Just remember.Major International tournaments are > UCL. PLUS classy behaviour and attitude on the pitch, good sportsmanship. Rodri was euros pott, furthermore, apart from RM fans and Vini fans who might not want to admit it, many people can't stand Vini's attitude on the pitch .
Vini didn’t do anything for his national team. In his last game for the copa, he was on the bench for yellow card accumulation. I felt Bellingham did more for madrid and England
The Ballon d'Or is awarded based on criteria set by France Football, recognising the player with the best individual and team performance, exceptional skill, and strong influence and sportsmanship on and off the field over the past year. Ultimately, the Ballon d'Or winner is decided by votes from journalists worldwide. To earn these votes, you must show respect and maintain proper behaviour on and off the pitch. The award symbolizes greatness beyond just numbers and statistics. If it were solely about stats, players like Lev Yashin, Franz Beckenbauer, and Fabio Cannavaro might not have won it in the past. While Vinicius Jr. has impressive stats and trophies, his conduct and sportsmanship are a different matter. His behaviour of provoking rival fans with disrespectful actions and trash-talking often leads to playing the victim card after facing backlash with racist chants etc. Furthermore, his frequent outbursts toward referees go unpunished, raising questions about fairness. To seriously contend for awards like the Ballon d'Or, Vinicius must work on his character. Additionally, excelling for Brazil would bolster his case, as international performance significantly influences votes for this prestigious award.
Vini knocked him out of UCL and made him cry about how they were the better team for a month. He caused him 1 month of pain, if that's impressive then sure rodry deserved the ballon d'or
Might be biased as a Barca fan but basically everyone has universally agreed that Rodri has been the best DM for the last few years. So in a season where he has been apart of the teams that are winning everything, the balendor result doesn't surprise me and I think it's deserved
For all the madrid fans that are obsessed with "stats" as per usual. Rodri has 26 goals while vini had 35 i believe. Which is only a gap of 10while 1 plays as defensive mid lol. Also vini dissapeared so much. Copa he never showed up. In some games he was alsno nowhere to be found and that is backed up by the AVG RATING PER GAME. Rodri has a way higher avg rating per game. That coming from a number 6. Whats there to talk abt lol..
It's funny because if you're gonna compare G/A mohammed salah who wasn't even included in the ballon d'or got 1 more g/a (37 vs 38) while being out of 30% of the season in a worse team, in a harder league. But then suddenly it's not about stats and its about team impact (mohammed salah still had more national team and club impact)
Weird how this is the first time UEFA are co-organizing the event, notorious for being against Perez because of his super league and they start making fun of Vini at the ceremony
@@keviok638 Messi didn’t attend b dor he knew Ronaldo has won. Bayern hasn’t attended any b’dors since Lewandowski got robbed. Haaland didnt attend this uear even tho his teammate won. List goes on.
This is not the worst Ballon D'Or winner ever when we've had Modric and Benzema. No shade to them has players, they're great but those years were way more controversial
Benzema was not even close to controversial it was almost a no-brainer like how Lewa would've won in 2020, Benzema is one of our best winners in the past few years, that UCL Run competes with some of Ronaldo’s UCL runs
ive fallen out of love with the beautiful game, once modric retires which is probably the end of this season, im never watching a football game ever again. this game is finished.
Im gonna put this real simple so every 84IQ PA FC player understands it. Vinicius wasnt even the best forward during the year, was he best winger? he is up there definitely. but not only was Rodri the best middlefielder this year in the world, he was also the best CDM in the world. he 100% deserves this and anyone who disagrees have not watched him play and only judges his ability based on his PIFA card.
Sad to see this comment section, Vini deserved it, not saying rodri wasnt good last season but he was better in 22/23 than in 23/24, vini won a second champions league for madrid scoring in the final AGAIN, everyone that watched madrid games last season knows how good he was, trully the best player. And have you guys ever played football in real life? how is dibu martinez praised for his provocations on the field and vini is bad for doing the same? What is the criteria? Lets not forget he won the socrates award last year. What vini has to do more to win something? Thats a shame. This prize doesnt deserves recognition and madrid did right to not go in there
petty shlt like not showing up when losing is exactly the fact why he just doesnt deserve it, he's a great footballer but an absolute crybaby plus you could argue for Rodri and Vini but imo Rodri is the deserved winner, even Cristiano and Messi showed up when they didn't win it in all those years, that's actual class, Vini just doesn't have any
@@Ishankk yeah but Rodri did as a representative, Vini just didn't, plus it's mostly nominated players showing up, literally not a good look however you wanna put it, Vini 2nd, Jude 3rd, Ancelotti best trainer, all not there, crybaby stuff
@@lp.shakur they didn’t know, why did city not send anyone? Where’s haaland? Pep, foden kdb walker ederson. No one came, but ot is an issue if Real Madrid didn’t come. Their objective was to have a dead ceremony and ended up achieving it, biggest star present was harry kane
5:36 No, it’s not because International. There was like 4 journalists who left Vini out of the Top 10 & gave him 0 points - which is just absurd. Vini should’ve won
the Balon Dor is supposed to be the award that crowns the BEST player in the year. It's so much easier for forwards to show how good they are with goals and assists and flair and so forth, but there is so so so much more than that for what constitutes the best player - performances are about more than ONLY goals and assists, it's also about how influential you are to the game as a whole and the teams you are part of. Nobody in the world is even close to capable of what Rodri does day in day out, but we see forwards having amazing seasons every single year
Pretty much the idea behind it was they gave Ancelotti manager of the year to compensate for Vini not winning the balon dor. In my honest, non bias opinion I believe Vini really does deserve it and Xabi Alonso for manager of the year because its absolutely insane to go unbeaten in every competition except the final of the europa which they lost to Atalanta (credit to them btw)
Rodri did deserve to win it. He is so cruicial for City and Spain, and Citys record without him really shows that. Now Vini does deserve it as well, but Brazil hasnt been good this year and he really isnt the main guy at Madrid (same can be said of Rodri). Also people do unfortunately hold alot of off field things against him, the class and fair part. Playing for madrid also has the effect where Jude and Carvihal sharked votes from him as well. But overall the award doenst really matter because there are so many times where another player should have won it over Messi or Ronaldo.
I think attackers are the obvious choice for a Ballon D'Or so it was nice to see someone else win it. If it annoys people/players so much then they should have a Attacker of the Year. Its also sad to see people are getting upset over an individual reward with a team game
honestly this attacker only troupe with the ballon dor is ridiculous, Rodri is the best player in the world, he doesnt play flashy or eye-catching but his still the best.
The fact that Vini is a black brazilian also helps with this villan aura, we still have a lot of racism and eurocentrism amomg the older generations...
@@jaforgah Nah I am for real mate this here is embarrassing thank god Real Madrid not show up to that clown show so funny when they name Real Madrid best club of the year and they just don’t give a Damm fuck about the award from that clown show🤣
The truth is, it could have gone to any of the top 3. It was very close, but in no way is Rodri winning it for the whole 23/24 season a robbery. He was the most consistent and also clutch which all 3 were in different ways. Rodri arguably impacts his team the most and did so in two major competitions.
The real reason vini lost was because months before everyone was saying "bellingham" is gonna win it, then 2 months ago everyone switched up and said vini should win it, the journalist's simply had to choose between bellingham and vini on who was the best player, splitting their votes making rodri the winner
They pray on our downfall. The only W they take are on our occasional “L”. So it's okay, we're down bad now and we'll bounce back. But this just reminds me of the quote from Jose Mourinho : "No team is invincible, everyone loses, but when Real Madrid lose everyone is happy, because they are the best".
Rodri was more important for his teams both club and country, having success in both, he played better and more consistently. He wasn't far off vini in terms of goal contributions. This ballondor is a complete no brainer in Rodris favour.
@@alimac5926 Rodri was important for his club, with which he won the Premier League. He wasn't that important for Spain, only played half the final and they scored the goals once he left the pitch. And leading up to the final the star men were Olmo, Yamal and Fabian Ruiz. Vini won the Champions League AND La Liga and was crucial in both, scoring in the final and taking apart Bayern in the semi final at the Allianz arena. I mean..come on
Vinicius was the star attacker for the best team and one of the biggest nations in the world and scored… 23 goals. I’m sorry, but you can’t be giving Ballon D’Ors to attackers with an output as small as that. Especially when there is so much bias toward attacking players.
@@DPAE-xc4ph we all know the balon d'or was weak this season and its got the worst roster in 20-30 years , but that doesnt change the fact that at least 3 players deserved it more than Rodri. What an absolute robbery we have witnessed and y'all are just taking it lightly because you "dislike" Vinicius because he winds up opponents.
Rodri was insane last year and their was no stand out attackers. If their was a stand out attacker they would have won it, Vini was maybe level with Saka Palmer Salah and Lautaro.

anyone who says this is a robbery does not watch the sport. how do u as a fan of the sport think that a player who only performed good at club only for the SECOND HALF of the season? and not reward a player that was crucial for club AND country all the way through? peak for peak for the first half it was jude, second half vini, but rodri was by far the most consistent all throughout the year. either of the top 3 winning it would not be a robbery lmfao dont get it fucked up
It's baffling to me that people call this a robbery. How in the world could you claim that Vinicius Jr. has been a better football player this year than Rodri. Crazy talk.
Bellingham absolutely robbed, it was never between rodry and vini. however, counting the fact that vini was injured and played half the games rodry had and still had such a great season being so crucial for Madrid in any competition makes it one of the biggest robberies bc Rodri was third not even second and still managed to win the ballon d'or. For me ballon d'or has lost its credibility and hype. Idk about yall. But fair enough to rodri he had great season as a defensive midfielder.
I don’t know why everyone goes from “nobody deserves it” to “Vini has been robbed”. He’s an amazing player, but this award can be decided by a few games. Those few games were international.

@@Th4b-0 Vini has been unreal but he’s not even been as good as peak Neymar or Suarez who finished 3rd when they were around. Vini is nothing extraordinary in terms of attacking players, whereas I think what Rodri offers in his position is actually exceptional.
Its hard when no player had the insane season we are used to with Messi Ronaldo etc. I think its good that its not only attacking players and we can pay tribute to positions not always celebrated. Its totally deserved to Rodri. It would also be deserved to Vinni. It aint that deep I feel.
If I’m not wrong Spain or city haven’t lost a single game within 90 mins (regulation time) where Rodri has started for over a calendar year. That in itself should paint the picture at how much impact he has on his teams.
Rodri was great for BOTH Spain and Man city and also I don’t think the Euros and Copa America carry too much weight. The reason it matters this year was bc Spain did something HISTORIC in beating TOP TOP nations on their way to win the Euros.
Sorry Nick completely got to disagree with your take on this, Rodi was a worthy winner, Vini had a great season but Brazil didn’t even make the semi finals , for once you displayed a very one sided argument.
Rodri Robbed Vini, if you gonna argue the Euro, well then Carvajal should've won it, he won everything there is to win! And incredible performance internationally and within the club
Let's be honest if vini didn't win it, why wasn't carvajal considered for it, he won everything last season and one of the most consistent players last season

He's so good every game, completely dominates the midfield for both club and country while making it look easy, and is even scoring goals when his team needs him to. Ofc Vini's pace and dribbling and ability to decide games is much easier to appreciate, and therefore will appeal much more to more viewers, and also I will say it's very close. However Rodri, for me, delivers world class performances every game, showing a level as a controlling midfielder we haven't seen in many years, and truly does deserve his praise.
Madrid are salty. Rodri deserves it!
How is Rodri the worst? This was no different than when Luka Modric won except Rodri is WAY more crucial and impactful for his team
Someone said it.
Beautiful run with Croatia but they got doggwalked in the final
The fact that people are saying Rodri shouldn’t haven’t won it like bro have you not seen how clutch he was and also it’s good that a position other than forwards win it every year a nice change like give it other positions that deserve it.
What about carvajal
@@jesusflores9763lmao shouldn’t even touch top 5 lil bro
@@Nachimento explain why.
@@aleksandre9711 not even spains best fullback in euros let alone player, not even Madrids top 3 players last season. He deserves candidate but not top 5. Lautaro deserved way more. Even Wirtz
@@Nachimento not the best fullback according to who? If we are going that way Rodri wasn’t best midfielder for spain. Carvajal was best right back in UCL and La Liga too.
Even tho he deserved it ,the fact that the madrid players did not show up is disrespectful ,even at the height of the rivalry between messi and ronaldo they both showed up even when they lost .
Nick are you ok ? Vinis mentality is what doesnt won him the award. He is crying, diving, bitching EVERY SINGLE GAME ! He´s so disrespectful to other players EVERY SINGLE GAME. How in the world someone thinks Vini deserved to win the ballon dor. And by the way... am i the only one who thinks vini isnt aaaall that crazy
“Class & fair play” vinni is a notorious scummy player.
notoriously scummy for being competitive when his opponents are and being against racism! wow you people don't even try to hide it
lol because he is against racism? lol grow up
Vini does the same shit that other shithousers do and gets called a monkey for it and when he defends himself y’all cal him scummy
Yeah Kimmich was being super racist
Rodri has been sanctioned by uefa for being disrespectful
Rodri and vini both deserve it in their own ways. I am a city fan so I'm absolutely ecstatic that Rodri won. He was by far the best cdm in the world and was integral in everything that occurred for his club and his country. People don't love that he won it because he isn't a goalscorer. With that being said, the Balon d'or is bs these days. It's been bs since Lewa was robbed and even before that. Imo there should be a best Defender, midfielder and attacker but even that won't change the fact that it's just a popularity contest. I can 100 agree that vini had an amazing season himself and I wouldn't have batted an eye if HE won it.
I feel like there should be a trophy for the best Attackers/Midfielders/Defenders/GK , then there would be no debate
Yes have little cheap trophies for all the postions but also have the prestigious Balon D'or for that one special elite player that had the best year.
Fr
That is the better idea but then where is the drama😅😂
Jk😂😂
Just remember.Major International tournaments are > UCL. PLUS classy behaviour and attitude on the pitch, good sportsmanship. Rodri was euros pott, furthermore, apart from RM fans and Vini fans who might not want to admit it, many people can't stand Vini's attitude on the pitch .
Explain then how Emi Martinez has won the best goalkeeper award with his shitty behaviour?
Vini didn’t do anything for his national team. In his last game for the copa, he was on the bench for yellow card accumulation. I felt Bellingham did more for madrid and England
The Ballon d'Or is awarded based on criteria set by France Football, recognising the player with the best individual and team performance, exceptional skill, and strong influence and sportsmanship on and off the field over the past year.
Ultimately, the Ballon d'Or winner is decided by votes from journalists worldwide. To earn these votes, you must show respect and maintain proper behaviour on and off the pitch. The award symbolizes greatness beyond just numbers and statistics. If it were solely about stats, players like Lev Yashin, Franz Beckenbauer, and Fabio Cannavaro might not have won it in the past.
While Vinicius Jr. has impressive stats and trophies, his conduct and sportsmanship are a different matter. His behaviour of provoking rival fans with disrespectful actions and trash-talking often leads to playing the victim card after facing backlash with racist chants etc. Furthermore, his frequent outbursts toward referees go unpunished, raising questions about fairness.
To seriously contend for awards like the Ballon d'Or, Vinicius must work on his character. Additionally, excelling for Brazil would bolster his case, as international performance significantly influences votes for this prestigious award.
love to see man city vs vardridd soon
Rodri has that unbeaten record hard to top that with what he did his impact has been immense both internationally and domestically
The unbeaten record is useless considering the fact he lost to Madrid and United
Vini knocked him out of UCL and made him cry about how they were the better team for a month. He caused him 1 month of pain, if that's impressive then sure rodry deserved the ballon d'or
@@Th4b-0 who’s he
Might be biased as a Barca fan but basically everyone has universally agreed that Rodri has been the best DM for the last few years. So in a season where he has been apart of the teams that are winning everything, the balendor result doesn't surprise me and I think it's deserved
Maybe Vini should work on being more likeable as a person and he wont have to worry about people holding non-football things against him.
Go outside touch grass
you truly live up to your name
Is this a personality based award or a performance based?
@@billyblanco2540both
@@billyblanco2540 literally one of the things the award is based on is "class and fair play"
Vini had less g/a in a league then Mateta and yall are acting like he had messi 2012 type of season. Rodri deserved it.
ballon d'or not going to messi, ronaldo or a real madrid player = rigged lmao
Thank you so much for all the content. I can’t sleep
For all the madrid fans that are obsessed with "stats" as per usual. Rodri has 26 goals while vini had 35 i believe. Which is only a gap of 10while 1 plays as defensive mid lol. Also vini dissapeared so much. Copa he never showed up. In some games he was alsno nowhere to be found and that is backed up by the AVG RATING PER GAME. Rodri has a way higher avg rating per game. That coming from a number 6. Whats there to talk abt lol..
based off what vini did last season its vini
It's funny because if you're gonna compare G/A mohammed salah who wasn't even included in the ballon d'or got 1 more g/a (37 vs 38) while being out of 30% of the season in a worse team, in a harder league. But then suddenly it's not about stats and its about team impact (mohammed salah still had more national team and club impact)
@@yehiak8711 he didnt win anything
You mention vini was injured atleast 1/4 of the season ?
@@yehiak8711 agreed

This is not the worst Ballon D'Or winner ever when we've had Modric and Benzema. No shade to them has players, they're great but those years were way more controversial
If u think benzema was controversial, u are stupid
Benzema was not even close to controversial it was almost a no-brainer like how Lewa would've won in 2020, Benzema is one of our best winners in the past few years, that UCL Run competes with some of Ronaldo’s UCL runs
@@Th4b-0benzema definitely was a clear winner
how was benzema controversial😂 luka sure but 2022 had only one winner
Benzema shouldnt be controversial tbh
ive fallen out of love with the beautiful game, once modric retires which is probably the end of this season, im never watching a football game ever again.
this game is finished.
Summery :
Ten hag was robbed
Translator needed a translator
Antony was robbed
this is like marc gasol winning DPOY over bron lmao
Im gonna put this real simple so every 84IQ PA FC player understands it.
Vinicius wasnt even the best forward during the year, was he best winger? he is up there definitely.
but
not only was Rodri the best middlefielder this year in the world, he was also the best CDM in the world. he 100% deserves this and anyone who disagrees have not watched him play and only judges his ability based on his PIFA card.
Cooold FC iq roast. If they watch 10-20 minutes of Rodri I think that they might be able to understand this. Rodri goes into every team in the world.
Rodri was so good that every one decided he doesn’t deserve a single motm
Sad to see this comment section, Vini deserved it, not saying rodri wasnt good last season but he was better in 22/23 than in 23/24, vini won a second champions league for madrid scoring in the final AGAIN, everyone that watched madrid games last season knows how good he was, trully the best player. And have you guys ever played football in real life? how is dibu martinez praised for his provocations on the field and vini is bad for doing the same? What is the criteria? Lets not forget he won the socrates award last year. What vini has to do more to win something? Thats a shame. This prize doesnt deserves recognition and madrid did right to not go in there
petty shlt like not showing up when losing is exactly the fact why he just doesnt deserve it, he's a great footballer but an absolute crybaby plus you could argue for Rodri and Vini but imo Rodri is the deserved winner, even Cristiano and Messi showed up when they didn't win it in all those years, that's actual class, Vini just doesn't have any
Even Manchester city didn’t show up
@@Ishankk yeah but Rodri did as a representative, Vini just didn't, plus it's mostly nominated players showing up, literally not a good look however you wanna put it, Vini 2nd, Jude 3rd, Ancelotti best trainer, all not there, crybaby stuff
@@lp.shakur they didn’t know, why did city not send anyone? Where’s haaland? Pep, foden kdb walker ederson. No one came, but ot is an issue if Real Madrid didn’t come. Their objective was to have a dead ceremony and ended up achieving it, biggest star present was harry kane
@@IshankkThe problem is that Madrid made this childish statement, nobody cares if you don't attend, Messi did it, Ronaldo did it, just do it quietly
@@ronipok6023 where did they make this statement officially? They have made no official comments on the topic
5:36 No, it’s not because International. There was like 4 journalists who left Vini out of the Top 10 & gave him 0 points - which is just absurd. Vini should’ve won
didnt know nick's fans were all vini haters lmao
He didn't lose a game in 18 months I don't know what more you want.
Vini is the best player so far this year
Can't believe ppl still bring up Messi and Ronaldo. The biggest robberies to me have been Haaland and Iniesta. Lewa x2 and VVD also deserved.
neur and robery too imo
the Balon Dor is supposed to be the award that crowns the BEST player in the year. It's so much easier for forwards to show how good they are with goals and assists and flair and so forth, but there is so so so much more than that for what constitutes the best player - performances are about more than ONLY goals and assists, it's also about how influential you are to the game as a whole and the teams you are part of. Nobody in the world is even close to capable of what Rodri does day in day out, but we see forwards having amazing seasons every single year
Told you RODRI DOESN'T LOSE!!!!!!!!🔥🔥🔥
Don't forget that Rodri had a crazy personal undefeated streak.
Carvajal deserves it most IMO.
😂
you can sub him for another good rb with experience and nothing changes.
Vini and Rodri were irreplaceable on their teams
Isn't even the best RB itw
Cmon Nick ! Rodri was well deserved mate oh and Real Madrid you should be ashamed for not going to the awards and having a cry shame !
Pick saying a whole load without saying nothing. Yappology 🤝
Pretty much the idea behind it was they gave Ancelotti manager of the year to compensate for Vini not winning the balon dor. In my honest, non bias opinion I believe Vini really does deserve it and Xabi Alonso for manager of the year because its absolutely insane to go unbeaten in every competition except the final of the europa which they lost to Atalanta (credit to them btw)
Rodri did deserve to win it. He is so cruicial for City and Spain, and Citys record without him really shows that. Now Vini does deserve it as well, but Brazil hasnt been good this year and he really isnt the main guy at Madrid (same can be said of Rodri). Also people do unfortunately hold alot of off field things against him, the class and fair part. Playing for madrid also has the effect where Jude and Carvihal sharked votes from him as well.
But overall the award doenst really matter because there are so many times where another player should have won it over Messi or Ronaldo.
I think attackers are the obvious choice for a Ballon D'Or so it was nice to see someone else win it. If it annoys people/players so much then they should have a Attacker of the Year. Its also sad to see people are getting upset over an individual reward with a team game
Vini is so overrated its painful
Overrated? 🤡🤡🤡
Yeah quit watching football
Did you even watch the Copa America how he lit up the tournament and was the MVP
Still has some of the most iconic UCL moments at his young age. Still has 10 or so years left to play most likely.
@Elit3Energy Mbappe is not going to put up with Vini Jr he wants him out of Real Madrid. Vini Jr should go to Manchester City instead of Saudi Arabia
honestly this attacker only troupe with the ballon dor is ridiculous, Rodri is the best player in the world, he doesnt play flashy or eye-catching but his still the best.
Its close they both deserve it. Its not a robbery. And Madrid fans cant speak about robberies
The fact that Vini is a black brazilian also helps with this villan aura, we still have a lot of racism and eurocentrism amomg the older generations...
Never gonna watch ballon dor again wow
Shut up yes you are
grown man btw embarrassing
@@jaforgah Nah I am for real mate this here is embarrassing thank god Real Madrid not show up to that clown show so funny when they name Real Madrid best club of the year and they just don’t give a Damm fuck about the award from that clown show🤣
RODRI deserved this award....
Rodri deserved. Vini clown 🤡
The truth is, it could have gone to any of the top 3. It was very close, but in no way is Rodri winning it for the whole 23/24 season a robbery. He was the most consistent and also clutch which all 3 were in different ways. Rodri arguably impacts his team the most and did so in two major competitions.
Rodri deserves it 100%
Also not showing up to the ceremony because a player in your team didn’t win is so childish🙏😭
The real reason vini lost was because months before everyone was saying "bellingham" is gonna win it, then 2 months ago everyone switched up and said vini should win it, the journalist's simply had to choose between bellingham and vini on who was the best player, splitting their votes making rodri the winner
Lewandowski was robbed twice, in 2020 and 2021. This is te biggest joke in ballon dor history.
2020 yes not 2021
They pray on our downfall. The only W they take are on our occasional “L”. So it's okay, we're down bad now and we'll bounce back. But this just reminds me of the quote from Jose Mourinho : "No team is invincible, everyone loses, but when Real Madrid lose everyone is happy, because they are the best".
What the hell are these comments. No way y'all are arguing for Rodri. And I saw someone say Vini "should work on being more likeable". EXCUSE ME?
Rodri was more important for his teams both club and country, having success in both, he played better and more consistently. He wasn't far off vini in terms of goal contributions. This ballondor is a complete no brainer in Rodris favour.
@@alimac5926 Rodri was important for his club, with which he won the Premier League. He wasn't that important for Spain, only played half the final and they scored the goals once he left the pitch. And leading up to the final the star men were Olmo, Yamal and Fabian Ruiz. Vini won the Champions League AND La Liga and was crucial in both, scoring in the final and taking apart Bayern in the semi final at the Allianz arena. I mean..come on
@@alimac5926Nah I'm sure these are troll comments. How can you say this with straight face
Vinicius was the star attacker for the best team and one of the biggest nations in the world and scored… 23 goals. I’m sorry, but you can’t be giving Ballon D’Ors to attackers with an output as small as that. Especially when there is so much bias toward attacking players.
@@DPAE-xc4ph we all know the balon d'or was weak this season and its got the worst roster in 20-30 years , but that doesnt change the fact that at least 3 players deserved it more than Rodri. What an absolute robbery we have witnessed and y'all are just taking it lightly because you "dislike" Vinicius because he winds up opponents.
Rodri was insane last year and their was no stand out attackers.
If their was a stand out attacker they would have won it, Vini was maybe level with Saka Palmer Salah and Lautaro.

anyone who says this is a robbery does not watch the sport. how do u as a fan of the sport think that a player who only performed good at club only for the SECOND HALF of the season? and not reward a player that was crucial for club AND country all the way through? peak for peak for the first half it was jude, second half vini, but rodri was by far the most consistent all throughout the year. either of the top 3 winning it would not be a robbery lmfao dont get it fucked up
It's baffling to me that people call this a robbery. How in the world could you claim that Vinicius Jr. has been a better football player this year than Rodri. Crazy talk.
Bellingham absolutely robbed, it was never between rodry and vini. however, counting the fact that vini was injured and played half the games rodry had and still had such a great season being so crucial for Madrid in any competition makes it one of the biggest robberies bc Rodri was third not even second and still managed to win the ballon d'or. For me ballon d'or has lost its credibility and hype. Idk about yall. But fair enough to rodri he had great season as a defensive midfielder.
Vini is a cry baby. And did nothing with Brazil. He only has 8 a/g over a CDM. RODRI definitely deserves it more.
I don’t know why everyone goes from “nobody deserves it” to “Vini has been robbed”. He’s an amazing player, but this award can be decided by a few games. Those few games were international.
How a Real Madrid player can make a post talking about football politics is the most unreal thing I have ever seen. what an absolute joke.

I think Bellingham started off so fckin Hot last season affected the voting towards Vini, Cause Bellingham 1st half of 23/24 season was something else and had his few moments in the Euros, as compared to Vini who 2nd Half of the season and clutch moments also were something else, but also lets not forget the disappointment of a tournament Brazil and Vini had🤦🏽♂️
Rodri is quite clearly the best player in the world right now, I don't think this is a controversial win in the slightest.
Saying that it's not controversial is crazy, people forget the run Vini had in the UCL which is way more prestigious than Copa America
@@Th4b-0 Vini has been unreal but he’s not even been as good as peak Neymar or Suarez who finished 3rd when they were around. Vini is nothing extraordinary in terms of attacking players, whereas I think what Rodri offers in his position is actually exceptional.
Its hard when no player had the insane season we are used to with Messi Ronaldo etc. I think its good that its not only attacking players and we can pay tribute to positions not always celebrated. Its totally deserved to Rodri. It would also be deserved to Vinni. It aint that deep I feel.
Character ➡️ Class ➡️ Country ➡️ Club 💯 now sit down and Cry with Vini 😅😂🤣
If I’m not wrong Spain or city haven’t lost a single game within 90 mins (regulation time) where Rodri has started for over a calendar year. That in itself should paint the picture at how much impact he has on his teams.
They prevented an embarrassing moment because we all know with the hype he was given,he was gonna cry if he didn't win it.
Rodri was great for BOTH Spain and Man city and also I don’t think the Euros and Copa America carry too much weight. The reason it matters this year was bc Spain did something HISTORIC in beating TOP TOP nations on their way to win the Euros.
Sorry Nick completely got to disagree with your take on this, Rodi was a worthy winner, Vini had a great season but Brazil didn’t even make the semi finals , for once you displayed a very one sided argument.
Rodri Robbed Vini, if you gonna argue the Euro, well then Carvajal should've won it, he won everything there is to win! And incredible performance internationally and within the club
pick is trying his best to address some of the REAL problems with vini not winning it… jesus man.
I think it's almost impossible to determine who the best individual player is for anything because it's a team sport.
i dont know why people are surprised that Rodri won. Its not like we didnt knew it for the past 5 months
Let's be honest if vini didn't win it, why wasn't carvajal considered for it, he won everything last season and one of the most consistent players last season
