For Gary Neville, Vinicius’ second place in the 2024 Ballon d’Or behind Rodri is deserved.
The result of the Ballon d’Or continues to make people talk… While the Spanish press had been announcing for several weeks that Vinicius would be voted best player in the world, it was ultimately Rodri who received the most prestigious individual award in football.
Enough to greatly annoy Real Madrid and its president Florentino Perez, who simply canceled the visit of his delegation to Paris to attend the ceremony at the Théâtre du Châtelet. A highly criticized behavior.
“Vinicius has no class”
For the “It’s Called Soccer” podcast, Gary Neville returned to the result of this 2024 Ballon d’Or. The former England international believes that Rodri’s victory is deserved, slipping a big tackle on Vinicius in the process.
“Vinicius has no class, said the former Manchester United defender. I’m happy that Rodri won the Ballon d’Or. This comes down to a player who has made a consistent contribution week in and week out. »
