Madrid boss Ancelotti reacts to Vinicius Junior

Vinicius Junior is widely tipped to scoop the 2024 Ballon d’Or award on 28th October, with Ancelotti convinced his player will take home France Football’s prize.

“What I can say is that it’s rare to see a player who plays a second half like Vinicius did,” he said at his post-match press conference, as per The Daily Mail.

“And not because of the three goals but because of his character; he’s extraordinary.

“Vinicius is going to win [the Ballon d’Or], not for what he did tonight, but for what he did last year.

“These three goals are already going to count for next year’s Ballon d’Or, that’s for sure. He is a player who gets whistled at because he can make a difference.”
