Vini is getting robbed tbh.
But voters fatigue is a real thing, Spain hasn't got a ballon d'or during their golden generation, EPL didn't get one in 15 years, while in the past 15 years only Messi won it outside of Real Madrid.

It was bound that journalists would love to recognise someone else.
He’s not getting robbed.

The only reason he’s not winning it because people who voted for Real Madrid split their votes between Vini and Bellingham.

Bellingham was the standout player for Real Madrid for the first half of that season, so naturally some people are going to vote his way. I’m addition, he did make it to Euro final.

In the end Balon Dor is also a likeability contest. Vini may be a nice guy for all I know, but he is extremely dislikable on the pitch and carries a ton of negative aura.

He probably did deserve it this term though. Rodri didn't even do anything in the Euros final and Vini owned City in Europe.

Saying all that, not calling racist but the last time this was won by a non-white (apart from Messi's half black leg) was in 2005.

And the last time it was won by a full black is - never.

Again, not calling the French racist...

If Vinicius was a nice person he would have won this.

(Not that I rate Vini higher than Rodri but because Madrid usually wins these..)

Which black player could win over Messi and Ronaldo for past 17 years?
