Real Madrid star Vinicius Junior has sent a message to those who did not vote for him to win the Ballon d'Or this year.
The Brazilian forward was a favourite to win the award after guiding Los Blancos to success in LALIGA and the UEFA Champions League last season.
However, Manchester City and Spain midfielder Rodri ended up winning the award while not one member from Madrid attended ceremony after finding out Vinicius did not win.

"I live very peacefully every day. I've arrived at Real Madrid, at the best club in the world and I haven't put my head down, I've always worked," he told Diario AS.
"The people who didn't vote for me are not going to change what I think and what my colleagues say every day. I'm here to work for them."
Vinicius did bounce back by winning FIFA Best Men's Player for 2024 earlier this week.
"It has been a very nice week, very important for me, for all the players who have played with me since I was a child," Vinicius added.
"Thanks to Real Madrid for everything they have done for me, they help me every day to do great things for the team. Hopefully we can continue for a long time.
"Real Madrid always want to be at the top. The trophy we won today is not just any trophy. We have been crowned the best club in the world. It's my third trophy and hopefully I can get more wins with this shirt."
