Cristiano Ronaldo Slams 'Unfair' Ballon d'Or Result After Vinicius Snub

Ronaldo, who has won the Ballon d'Or five times in the past, said it was unfair for Vinicius not to get the Golden Ball this year.

“In my opinion he (Vinicius) deserved to win the golden ball. It was unfair, I say it here in front of everybody,” said the Portuguese captain said at the Globe Soccer Awards.

Rodri led Manchester City to a fourth straight Premier League title last season before inspiring Spain to Euro 2024 success. While Vinicius scored 24 goals in 39 appearances across all competitions but had an underwhelming show with Brazil.
