The evidence suggests that Vinícius should be awarded the Ballon d’Or over Bellingham

Former attacking midfielder for La Liga powerhouse Real Madrid has backed current Blancos star Vinícius Jr. to win the Ballon d’Or today.

Of course, in recent weeks, rumors about wide receiver Vinícius running for the “Golden Ball” have started to circulate.

Much of this is due to the Brazilian’s consistent ability to step up when Real Madrid most needed him and frequently carrying the entire attacking burden on his own.Through these efforts, Vinícius has produced an incredible haul of 23 goals and 11 assists in all competitions, even though he was absent for a large portion of the season due to injury.

Furthermore, he can now lead Los Blancos to a domestic and European double with only one more win.

Consequently, there have been increasing demands from both Real Madrid’s supporters and other quarters for the 23-year-old to be named the best player in the world of football.

Furthermore, as previously said, a former participant in the off𝔢nsive formation in the capital of Spain has endorsed this on Monday.

Júlio Baptista gave his opinion on why colleague Jude Bellingham is losing to fellow countryman Vinícius in the Ballon d’Or race in an interview with Marca.

“Only the best can achieve such remarkable consistency in crucial games as he has.” The Golden Ball? Without a question, I would give it to him this year. I believe that, between him and Bellingham, Vini has the advantage since he is more consistent in big games.
