The head coach of Madrid's "Real" club, Carlo Ancelotti, stated that people will see the best version of Vinicius and the team's absence from the "Ballon d'Or" awards ceremony:

"Vinicius is close to his best level and you will see that tomorrow.

His season has been good, with 17 goals... Despite the number of injuries he has had to endure."

"It was not a bad team decision not to attend the "Ballon d'Or" awards. We did not come because we thought Vini was a strong favorite to win this prize.

I have nothing against Rodri, I just think he should have won this award a year earlier."

The 24-year-old Vinicius scored 17 goals in 30 matches this season.
