Real Madrid midfielder Eduardo Camavinga has criticized the organizers of the Ballon d’Or after his teammate Vinicius Junior missed out on the prestigious award on Monday night.
Camavinga suggested that politics influenced the decision that allowed Manchester City’s Rodri to win the Ballon d’Or instead of Vinicius. The France international expressed his belief that Vinicius is the best player in the world, stating that no award can truly define the Brazilian’s talent.
The decision to award Rodri has sparked significant controversy on social media, with many fans arguing that Vinicius was more deserving of the honor. Hours before the ceremony, reports emerged indicating that Vinicius would not win, prompting Real Madrid to boycott the event.
