Reacting, an Instagram user identified as .varky._ said; “Thierry Henry (2003) robbed by Pavel Nedved, Deco (2004) robbed by andriy Shevchenko, Iniesta (2010) robbed by Messi, Neymar (2015) robbed by Messi, Cristiano (2018) robbed by Modric Van dijk (2019) robbed by Messi, Lewandoski (2020 and 2021) robbed by Messi, Haaland (2023) robbed by Messi, Vini(2024) robbed by Rodri, Ballandor has no credibility now its all favoritism and fame game.
Another IG user identified as _ismael.alcantara commented CR7 once said: “I’d rather win a Golden Boot than a Ballon d’Or, because the Golden Boot is won with goals, not with votes.” In other words, it is based on merit, deservingness, facts and achievements, not on votes without criteria.
IG user alpa__shino: “Away from all affiliations… Actually and logically, Vinicius Junior is the best player in the world, while the Ballon d’Or award is just an award presented by some people who only care about their personal interests and money, but football is bigger than them and a day will come when they will go, but football will remain and reality and truth will always remain. ”
@ nathaannn.be says; “ballon d’Or lost his credibility.”
adelakuntufayl; “We all know the organizers took the award personal against Vinicius. It was a clear robbery on football and those who supported Rodri against him have nothing good to say against Madrid!”
Speaking based on his own opinion, Daniel Regha in a viral tweet stressed that Rodri did not deserve the Ballon d’Or ahead of Real Madrid forward Vinicius Junior.

@Adedeji_Adeoba7: There’s nothing pathetic about it. Fair play and good character is one of the reasons Rodri won it. You can’t say the same of Vini. Character is part of football, now you know why Messi is very humble.
luxelivinginteriors39: But when modric won with 16/GA as an attacking midfielder he deserved it….a defensive midfielder won with 26/GA with five trophies and are saying he doesn’t merit it…go collect ham from Rodri.
ommis_ommis: Full, he is the best player in @euro2024 and his the best player in @fifaclubworldcup and he won treble last year 2023…this season he won @premierleague and @euro2024 too.
