Maybe next year ;-)!
i would not to intend to much on Ballon D´or because at the best ages of messi&ronaldo, there were a lot of excellent footballers who never get a ballon d#or and had a better season than messi/ronaldo.

It really was the biggest robbery in the history of football at that time, I haven't been enjoying football as much lately, but whether I like it or not, what Vinicius Junior played was great football, he was the best of all for me who demonstrated a beautiful football to watch

It is impressive how deeply rooted the racial issue is in some institutions and nations. But I do not want to believe in this hypothesis, in my opinion, the football of the winner Rodri is not even close to the football of Vinicius Junior, and this is also the opinion of great former players and also current football coaches, who share the injustice committed against the Brazilian player.

Different roles one can't work without the other, actually nice to see somebody real win it.
Strikers take all the glory. Wonder if Haaland felt the same the year B4

I genuinely believe even if Real Madrid turned up - the result was the same, i think it was super close and based on what each respective player had won that season prior. Rodri is a beast and yes you could argue strongly that Vini deserved it but for me - the right player won it.

Messi was incredible and would probably win it again if he remained but he is gone now - yesterdays news in terms of Ballon D'or.
I understand peoples frustrations at Vini not winning, i think he was very very close to this but i still feel Rodri would have just beat him. Real Madrid have not done themselves any favours for future awards by acting childish and boycotting the event, i would understand it if there was not a realistic competitor to Vini but Rodri was.
You cannot compare Messi to anyone, he was and is a one off, we may never see a more all round complete player in our lives.
The Ballon d'Or is awarded based on three main criteria:
1) Individual performances, decisive and impressive character
2) Team performances and achievements
3) Class and fair play
What did Vini win and What did Rodri win for all his teams over this period - Rodri smashed him i can tell you here - the other two categories were very very close, overall - Rodri won by a small margin. FACTS not opinions my dear friends.

Messi's 91 goals in one season is ridiculous. I think that now the best 9 in the world have half of that and Messi was not 9. was god

It is true that Viny deserved to win, but could you say that Rodri did not?
Moreover, Vini with all his talent is nothing compared to Rodri's composure, discipline and behavior. I think he definitely lost that "Ballon d'or" due to his immaturity. Viny is also younger than Rodri, so they probably figured they'll give it to him next year (If he behaves himself).

The Ballon d'Or is a barely relevant award, far too much fuss gets made of it.
How much fairer can it be, its voted on by journalists, and this decides the winner.
Real Madrid and Vinicius Junior showed the absolute worst side of modern football by not turning up. Entitled, self important, out of touch fools

Fabulous contribution - Vini won La Liga, CL and Spanish Super Cup - Rodri season before won CL/Premier League/League Cup/ Uefa Super Cup and then Euro 24

Vinny himself, a few hours after the ceremony where he was to receive the award, added fuel to the fire by posting a very sharp message on Twitter: “If necessary, I will do this ten more times.Unlike Latin American countries like El Salvador, who didn't even include him in the top 10. The truth is that rather than accept the verdict, as dubious as it may seem to many (including Europeans), Vini is advocating for poisoning the wells by turning public opinion in his country against the European football system.
