Real Madrid striker Vinicius Junior put himself in strong competition to win the Ballon d’Or for the best player in the world and added more titles to his collection after scoring in another European Champions League final yesterday, Saturday.
The Brazilian scored Real Madrid’s second goal against Borussia Dortmund near the end at Wembley Stadium, ensuring a 2-0 victory for his team, which won the tournament for the 15th time, extending its record for European crowns, and Vinicius (23 years old) crowned his career with another wonderful season.
“The Ballon d’Or. Vinicius has just won the Ballon d’Or,” former England national team defender Rio Ferdinand said while working as a television analyst during Vinicius’ celebration of his goal.
He added, “He has the Ballon d’Or in his bag now. Wow. In the most important moments of the Champions League this season, Vinicius expresses himself.”
After crowning his previously wonderful season by scoring the goal that won Real Madrid the European title for the 14th time at the expense of Liverpool in Paris two years ago, Vinicius concluded this season by scoring six goals in the Champions League and 15 in the Spanish League, which coach Carlo Ancelotti’s team also won.
Vinicius scored 24 goals in all competitions, which means that this season is the best scoring season for the Brazilian player since he joined from Flamengo in 2018.
During this period, he won three Spanish League titles, two Champions League titles, a Spanish Cup title, and two Club World Cup titles.
