the prestigious award, calling the result “unfair.”

In his remarks at the Globe Soccer Awards, Ronaldo stated, “Vinicius Jr should have won the Ballon d’Or; it was clear. That’s why I admire Globe Soccer Awards – they are honest.”

Rodri, speaking to AS, reacted by saying, “I was taken aback by his words. Cristiano knows well how the voting process works and how the winner is chosen. This year, the journalists who voted decided I should receive the award. The same journalists who have previously voted for him made this decision.”

The Spanish star also shared a conversation with Mateo Kovacic, discussing the incredible atmosphere surrounding the Ballon d’Or celebrations in Madrid. Having clinched the award ahead of Vinicius Junior, Rodri expressed gratitude for the experience, especially given Kovacic’s insight from his time at Real Madrid during the years when both Luka Modric (2018) and Ronaldo (2016 and 2017) won the honor.

Rodri reflected on his talks with Kovacic, saying, “It’s amazing. Kovacic told me about the unforgettable Ballon d’Or parties in Madrid, and he said he’s never seen anything like it. Manchester City creates a wonderful environment for its players, and I am truly thankful for the recognition I’ve received here.”
