It's time to talk about Vinicius 'winning the Ballon d'Or'

The Ballon d'Or award ceremony, organized by France Football magazine (France), will announce the winner, during a ceremony taking place at the Chatelet Theater in Paris at 2:00 a.m. on October 29. Vinicius is currently the most promising candidate to win the award, based on a recent revelation by Marca (Spain).

Vinicius scores a wonderful hat-trick for Real Madrid, deserves to win the Golden Ball

However, unlike the usual annual tradition, this year's Ballon d'Or winner is still a secret. France Football magazine has made a historic change, announcing the winner only at the ceremony. Instead of secretly announcing the winner several days in advance and conducting private interviews, these are now only done after the ceremony.

However, the latest AS newspaper is where Vinicius is confirmed to be worthy of the Golden Ball, and is the 9th player in the history of Real Madrid Club to own this noble title in the football world. Even the former English player, Rio Ferdinand, when commenting on the Champions League recently, also said that "Vinicius won the Golden Ball 2024" 9 times.

"Vinicius scored a stunning hat-trick for Real Madrid on a magical Champions League night at the Bernabeu, silencing his critics. Vinicius' three goals in the 62nd, 86th and 90+3rd minutes, along with goals from Rudiger and Lucas Vazquez, helped Real Madrid come back from 2-0 down to beat Borussia Dortmund 5-2. This was the perfect message from Vinicius just days before the Ballon d'Or ceremony," AS said.

"While Mbappe and Jude Bellingham are still finding themselves, Vinicius has appeared in important moments and this performance has further strengthened his status as a strong candidate for the 2024 Ballon d'Or. He also helped Real Madrid once again get back on track in their quest for a 16th Champions League title in history," AS emphasized.

In addition, with this hat-trick of Vinicius, Real Madrid once again competes with rival Barcelona in the race to become the team with the most players scoring hat-tricks in history in the Champions League (both teams currently have 15 players scoring hat-tricks).

Raphinha is the player who just equaled the record for Barcelona, ​​when he scored a hat-trick in the 4-1 win over Bayern Munich on October 24.

Barcelona are currently 10th in the Champions League group stage after three games, with two wins and one loss. Real Madrid are similarly placed (also on six points, after two wins and one loss), but are 13th due to a poor goal difference. The top three teams are Premier League clubs Aston Villa and Liverpool (nine points) and Man City (seven points).

Meanwhile, the world's football community all agree that Vinicius deserves to win the Golden Ball. Last season, the 24-year-old Brazilian player contributed greatly to Real Madrid winning the Champions League, La Liga, and Spanish Super Cup.

He is also the 7th highest scorer in the history of Real Madrid Club in the Champions League, with 23 goals, only behind legends such as Gento (32 goals), Puskas (34), Di Stefano (49), Raul Gonzalez (66), Benzema (78) and Cristiano Ronaldo (105 goals).
