In the European Super Cup match this morning, Mbappé scored, while Vinicius and Bellingham provided assists. After the match, AS‘s front page titled “Vinicius One Step Closer to Ballon d’Or”, praising the Brazilian star’s outstanding performance.
The commentary noted: “Vinicius continues to make steady strides towards the Ballon d’Or. In the last eight finals that Real Madrid has participated in, Vinicius has been involved in scoring in seven games, either scoring or assisting. This time in Warsaw, he showcased even better creativity and frequently helped the team as if he were a midfielder. While Real Madrid hasn’t yet found the best solution for their multitude of stars upfront, Vinicius helped the team with key passes, ultimately creating decisiveness through breakthroughs, bringing excitement to the new quartet.”
Ancelotti praised Vinicius, stating “He is the player with the most impact in world football.” At just 24 years old, Vinicius has already won 13 trophies with Real Madrid and has played a leading role in their recent championship campaigns. For the Ballon d’Or selection, there is no greater springboard than collective achievements. As the top scorer for Real Madrid’s treble (Spanish Super Cup, La Liga, and Champions League) with 24 goals (a personal record) and 11 assists, he will continue to play a leadership role in the upcoming 2024-25 season.
Of course, Spanish media also pointed out that there is a variable for Vinicius to win the Ballon d’Or: the impact of summer tournaments. Due to the presence of the European Championship and Copa America, the selection will be affected. However, the aesthetically pleasing football Vinicius plays has a remarkable influence on hundreds of voters. In conclusion, Carvajal (success in both national team and club) and Bellingham could be competitors for Vinicius.
