Vinícius Junior Wins The Best Award

The Brazilian, now the first player from his country to receive this prestigious honor, succeeds Argentine Lionel Messi, who won the previous two editions. Vinícius also clinched The Best award after finishing second in the Ballon d'Or race, just behind Spain's Rodri Hernández.

One of the most notable reactions to Vinícius’ coronation came from his teammate Kylian Mbappé, who did not hesitate to congratulate him publicly. Through his social media, the French forward shared a brief but meaningful message to the Brazilian: “Well deserved bro”.

Mbappé, known for his competitiveness and outstanding performances throughout the season, did not hold back in praising Vinícius, acknowledging the effort and skill of his teammate, with whom he has shared great moments at Real Madrid. The Frenchman's message quickly went viral, sparking positive reactions from fans of both players.

Vinícius Júnior's recognition as the best footballer in the world not only solidifies his status as one of the greatest stars in football today but also highlights the strong chemistry and mutual respect within the Real Madrid squad.
