The race for the Ballon d’Or is heating up, as the club season ends in just a few weeks. Two favorites emerge in the final sprint: Vinicius and Jude Bellingham. The two Real Madrid players, authors of an excellent season on an individual level, can add a Champions League in 10 days in the event of success against Borussia Dortmund. While one will play the Copa America with Brazil, and the other the Euro with England, Julio Baptista has given his favorite at the moment to obtain this trophy. The former Real Madrid player (2005-2008) took the side of his compatriot, Vinicius, as he confided during an interview with Marca.
“He has shown great consistency in big matches, and only the best achieve that. The Golden Ball ? This year, there is no doubt that I would give him the Ballon d’Or. Between him and Bellingham, I think I would give it to Vini because he makes the difference in big matches.”confided the former Malaga player.
