Real Madrid's mainstay, a player who has shown great potential beyond his age, a player who has proven his critics wrong and stopped the criticism, and the most promising player for Brazil since Neymar. That player is the most successful player in Europe and one of the most successful players in the world. Vinicius is a player known for his speed, his ability to pass one-on-one and his ability to carry the team when needed. Vinicius was born on July 12, 2000 in São Gonçalo, Brazil. He attended the Brazilian football academy of the Cerveteriário de Origen at the age of 11. He was promoted to the Flamengo senior team at the age of 16, and made his debut in 2017.

His excellent performances and talent, including in the 2017 Copa Libertadores, have attracted the attention of many European clubs. In 2017, Real Madrid, a major European club, signed the 17-year-old for a fee of 45 million euros. He became the second most expensive player in Brazilian football history, after Neymar. In the 2018–19 season, Vinicius began to play for Real Madrid, but his performances were widely criticized. Vinicius, who never gave up easily, has improved day by day, despite the criticism, and has gradually become an indispensable player for Real Madrid.

Vinicius has improved significantly from season to season, and has won several trophies with Real Madrid. The 2021–2022 season was one of Vinicius' best seasons, with him finishing in the top five of the Ballon d'Or. Since joining Real Madrid, Vinicius has been a key player in Real Madrid's success, winning three La Liga titles, one Copa del Rey, three Supercopa de Espana, two Champions Leagues, two UEFA Super Cups, two FIFA Club World Cups and one FIFA Intercontinental Cup.

In 2024, Vinicius was at his best, scoring in the Champions League final. He was one of the best players in La Liga, and he has performed exceptionally well against all the big teams in La Liga, and he has been very good in the Champions League knockout games. Vinicius Junior was the favorite to win the 2024 Ballon d'Or, but in the end, it was Rodri, who won the trophy with both Spain and Manchester City. Now, in the 2025 season, after Mbappe arrived at Real Madrid, the BBC attack, which was once the best attacking duo of Real Madrid, was re-imagined by Mbappe, Vinicius, and Rodrigo, and Vinicius was able to show even better performance. Vinicius has been showing his best performance continuously, so this year's Ballon d'Or is definitely for Vinicius. What do you think? Let us discuss your views in the comments.
