Vinicius Jr Wins 2024 FIFA Best Men’s Player Award After Stellar Season
Vinicius Junior has claimed the prestigious FIFA Best Men’s Player Award for 2024, following a remarkable season where he led Real Madrid to both La Liga and Champions League titles in the 2023-24 campaign. The Brazilian forward triumphed over strong competition, including teammates Jude Bellingham, Manchester City’s Rodri, and Barcelona’s rising star Lamine Yamal, at the ceremony held in Doha, Qatar.
This victory comes just two months after Rodri edged out Vinicius for the Ballon d’Or—a decision Real Madrid described as “disrespectful”. Determined to prove his worth, Vinicius responded on social media: “I’ll do it 10 times if I have to. They’re not ready.”
Vinicius’ Impressive Stats for 2023-24
Vinicius played a pivotal role for Real Madrid, scoring 24 goals and delivering 9 assists across all competitions. His contributions included the decisive second goal in Madrid’s 2-0 Champions League final victory over Borussia Dortmund.
La Liga Contributions: 15 goals, 5 assists, and 31 chances created (3rd best among Madrid players).
Dribbling Prowess: Ranked 3rd in La Liga with 177 attempted dribbles, completing 36.7%.
Notable FIFA Best Winners and Honorees
Vinicius follows in the footsteps of legends like Lionel Messi (2023 winner), Cristiano Ronaldo, Robert Lewandowski, and Luka Modric.
Other highlights of the night include:
Carlo Ancelotti (Real Madrid): Best Men’s Coach Award.
Emiliano Martinez (Aston Villa): FIFA Best Goalkeeper Award.
Alejandro Garnacho (Manchester United): Puskas Award for his iconic overhead kick against Everton.
Vinicius was also named in the FIFA Best Men’s XI, alongside Real Madrid teammates Toni Kroos, Antonio Rudiger, Dani Carvajal, and Jude Bellingham.
Real Madrid’s Continued Dominance
With the squad already in Qatar for the upcoming Intercontinental Cup final against Pachuca, Real Madrid’s exceptional season continues to showcase their dominance on the global stage.
