The real 'reason' for Vinicius Junior Ballon d'Or snub as fans convinced one incident cost him Golden Ball

Real Madrid were outraged at Vinicius Junior missing out on the Ballon d’Or and snubbed the glitzy event in Paris, with Rodri taking top spot.

But fans are convinced they know the real reason the Brazilian missed out on the prestigious prize – and it has NOTHING to do with footballing ability.

Instead, they reckon the 24-year-old blew his chance by failing in one of the three categories required to lift the Golden Ball.

Candidates are judged on “individual performances, decisive and impressive character”, “team performances and achievements” and “fair play and class on the field”.
