Vinicius Junior named The Best FIFA Men's Player award for 2024

Vinicius Junior won The Best FIFA Men's Player award for 2024 after a stellar year with Real Madrid and Brazil.

The Brazilian winger, who was controversially left out of the Ballon d'Or shortlist, enjoyed an outstanding 2023/24 season, contributing 24 goals and winning both the Champions League and La Liga.

His most memorable moment was scoring in the Champions League final, where Real Madrid triumphed 2-0 over Borussia Dortmund. This is Vinicius' first FIFA award, making him the only Brazilian to win the honor.

He joins Cristiano Ronaldo and Luka Modric as Real Madrid players to win the accolade, beating out nominees like Rodri, Haaland, and Jude Bellingham.
