Six days before the 2024 Ballon d’Or ceremony, Vinicius Jr seems to have made everyone agree. His last performance in the Real Madrid jersey undoubtedly had a lot to do with it. This Tuesday, during the reception of Borussia Dortmund in the Champions League at the Santiago Bernabéu, the Brazilian left winger scored a memorable hat-trick, allowing his team to turn the situation around after being down by two goals at half-time.
This new classy demonstration from Vinicius has attracted praise from many players in the world of football, including Marquinhos, his teammate in the selection. The Paris Saint-Germain captain has no doubt about the identity of the next Ballon d’Or, displaying great pride at the idea of witnessing the coronation of one of his compatriots.
Marquinhos wants to repatriate the Ballon d’Or to Brazil
“Who will win the Ballon d’Or? It’s clear, it’s already in Vinicius’s hands, it’s his. It’s time for the Ballon d’Or to return to Brazil,” said the roc auriverde at the microphone of TNT Sports Brazil.
If Vinicius were to win this supreme distinction, he would not only succeed Lionel Messi, but would also become the first Brazilian to win this prestigious trophy since Kaka in 2007.
