Vinisius ranked 16th in the "Ballon d'Or" award

Real Madrid and Brazil national team forward Vinicius Junior ranked only 16th in the Ballon d'Or voting. This was reported by Euro-football.ru.

This is his fourth participation in the award, and for the first time he did not make it into the top eight. After the voting results were announced, the player posted several photos on social media.

In one photo, he is depicted inside a sauna, and in another, in a small pool. This situation may indicate that the Ballon d'Or award is not important to Vinicius, as he is currently in the process of recovery.

Earlier, there were reports that Real Madrid club president Florentino Perez had dismissed the Ballon d'Or award for the club. Meanwhile, Pedri ranked 11th in the Ballon d'Or voting.

Former Russian Premier League star Kvaratskhelia achieved a higher result than Kane and Vinicius. Vinicius's low ranking was considered a notable event by many fans and analysts.
