Karim Benzema posted a picture of himself with Vinicius Junior to Instagram with the caption, “TOO STRONG 🥶🥶🥶…………….”

On social media, Toni Kroos and Arda Guler had previously supported the Brazilian.

Despite early predictions, it was previously stated that Rodri would win the Ballon d’Or before Vinicius Junior.

The award’s organizers, France Football, maintain that no one can predict the winner. However, Real Madrid has already responded to the leaks by choosing not to attend the event.
