Real Madrid's Vinicius Jr broke his silence after finishing second in the 2024 Ballon d'Or voting, hinting that his anti-racism advocacy may have influenced the outcome. The Brazilian winger, favored to win after Real Madrid's Champions League and LaLiga triumphs, expressed disappointment and defiance on social media, stating, "I'll do it 10x if I have to. They're not ready." His management team interpreted the post as a reference to his ongoing fight against racism in football, suggesting it may have cost him the award. Vinicius Jr trails Manchester City's Rodri, the surprise winner.
