Cristiano Ronaldo, Globe Soccer Awards December 27, 2024, 9:11 p.m

The day before, it became known that the winger of the Brazilian national team and Real Madrid Vinicius Junior was recognized as the best soccer player of 2024 by the Globe Soccer Awards.

During the event, during which awards were presented in various categories based on the results of the pop-up year, the legendary striker Cristiano Ronaldo shared his opinion about the best player-2024.

According to the 39-year-old Portuguese, Vinicius Junior should also have received the Ballon d’Or, which eventually went to Manchester City’s Spanish midfielder Rodri.

“Vinicius should have won the Ballon d’Or. I can say that. It wasn’t fair. Vinicius deserved to win the award, it wasn’t fair. That’s why I love the Globe Soccer Awards – it’s fair.

Vinny has done a fantastic job. The prize was given to Rhodri who deserved it too, but I think they should have given it to Vina because he won the Champions League and scored in the final of the tournament.

When someone deserves it, you have to give it to someone who deserves it. Keep doing the Globe Soccer Awards because it’s a fair award and it’s very good,” Ronaldo said during the Globe Soccer Awards.
