"I’d have given the Ballon d’Or to Vinicius Jr. Zero doubts"

Without a doubt the last Ballon d'Or has been one of the most disputed and at the same time one of the most controversial. Although Vinicius was the clear favorite, it was finally Manchester City midfielder Rodri who won the award.

The prestigious award was questioned by many well-known figures in the world of football, as many players or former players do not understand the decision that the Spanish midfielder was awarded as the best player in the world ahead of the Brazilian.

In fact, even his own compatriots like Nacho Fernandez consider that the Real Madrid winger should have been the winner, although he also assured that he respects Rodri and even congratulated him for the award.

"No doubts. I’d have given the Ballon d’Or to Vinicius Jr. But with zero doubts! I respect Rodri, I sent a message to say congrats as I’m very happy with him. But also Carvajal, Bellingham… But for me, Vini is the best in the world", he told 'El Partidazo'.
