Vinicius is The Best

The Real Madrid forward was named the Best FIFA Men’s Player, which is an award determined by votes from national team coaches, captains, journalists, and fans.

Vinicius amassed a total of 48 points, surpassing Manchester City midfielder Rodri, who earned 43 points, and his Real Madrid teammate Jude Bellingham, who finished with 37 points.

The award came after Vinicius was overlooked at the Ballon d’Or, which went to Rodri.

Vinícius won The Best for the first time after helping Madrid win a LaLiga and Champions League double.

Meanwhile, Barcelona’s Aitana Bonmatí won the women’s award, while Carlo Ancelotti was named men’s coach of the year.

Vinicius took shots at his critics after winning FIFA’s The Best Award

The Brazil international addressed his doubters after winning FIFA’s prestigious individual award.

“Today I write to the child who has seen so many idols lift that trophy,” Vinícius posted on Instagram. “His time has come. Or rather, my time has come. The time to say … yes, I am the best player in the world and I have fought hard for it.”

“They have tried and tried to invalidate me, to diminish me. But they are not ready. No one is going to tell me who I should fight for, how I should behave. When I was at São Gonçalo, the system didn’t care about me. It almost swallowed me up.”

“I won for myself, for my family. With a lot of support along the way: Flamengo, Real Madrid, the Brazilian national team, my hundreds of teammates over the years … the people who accompany me every day in my routine, those who admire me … The best player in the world.”
