Real Madrid forward Vinicius will have to postpone his dream of winning the Ballon d'Or for the future.

After the voting results were announced yesterday, it was revealed that the Brazilian finished second in the election, behind Manchester City midfielder Rodri.

According to Reuters, the player's entourage and Real club representatives have already found the main reason for the defeat.

They claim that Vinicius was done a "disservice" by the ongoing fight against racism in football, which may have had a negative impact on voters.
