Real Madrid star Vinicius Jr confident to win Ballon d'Or 2024: Report

The Brazilian is leading the race to win the Ballon d’Or.

Real Madrid sensation Vinicius Jr is understood to be aware that he will win the Ballon d’Or in October according to reports from Spain. The Brazilian is one of the favourites among the top three contenders for the award.

The reports also suggest that the forward is the frontrunner to win the coveted award despite competition from Man City’s Rodri and teammate Jude Bellingham. The Brazilian capped off an excellent season with the Los Blancos leading them to the UEFA Champions League title and producing 24 goals and 11 assists in 39 matches across all competitions.

Meanwhile, Bellingham also had a stellar campaign with Real, scoring 23 goals and producing 11 assists in 42 matches for the Spanish side last term and additionally led England to the Euro 2024 final where they lost to Spain.

Vinicius could face tough competition from Bellingham but recent reports say that the Brazilian has a higher chance of taking the prestigious award home. Meanwhile, Manchester City midfielder Rodri had one of the best seasons of his career as he helped City win the Premier League and Spain Euro 2024, with 23 goal contributions.

This time the Ballon d’Or is going to be very unexpected as among all the three favourites anyone could win and fans will be looking to learn about the actual winner during the ceremony in October.

Bellingham would have been a clear favourite had he won the Euro 2024 with Three Lions given he scored many important goals during the competition that played a vital role in helping England reach the final.

Meanwhile, Vinicius with Brazil didn’t have a productive Copa America 2024 as the Selecao were eliminated from the quarterfinal by Uruguay and the Madrid star didn’t have much influence in the competition.

But this is what the award makes it even more interesting as for the first time it will be unpredictable, while other times the fans knew the winners already when Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi used to compete. But this time the fans will find out during the event.
