Vinicius Junior has been named The Best FIFA Men’s Player for 2024, capping off a remarkable year with Real Madrid. The Brazilian forward enjoyed an incredible 2023/24 season, playing a key role in his team’s successes and showcasing his skill on the biggest stages.
After being controversially left out of the Ballon d'Or nominations, Vinicius finally received the recognition he deserved at FIFA's awards ceremony. His performance throughout the year was nothing short of exceptional, helping Real Madrid secure both the UEFA Champions League and La Liga titles. He finished the season with 24 goals in all competitions and has already netted 13 more goals this season, further proving his importance to the team.
One of Vinicius's standout moments came in the Champions League final against Borussia Dortmund, where he scored the second goal in a 2-0 victory, securing Real Madrid’s 15th European title. His crucial contributions, both in terms of goals and performances, were a significant factor in Madrid's dominance throughout the year.
The shortlist for The Best Men’s Player award featured several top contenders, including Manchester City’s Rodri and Erling Haaland. However, neither was able to surpass Vinicius, who ultimately claimed the prestigious honor. Real Madrid also had other nominees, including Jude Bellingham, Toni Kroos, Dani Carvajal, Federico Valverde, and even Kylian Mbappe, who was nominated despite playing for Paris Saint-Germain.
Aside from Vinicius’s triumph, other notable winners at the event included Emiliano Martinez, who was named Best Men’s Goalkeeper, and Carlo Ancelotti, who was awarded Best Men’s Coach for his leadership at Real Madrid. Aitana Bonmati claimed the Best Women’s Player award after an incredible year, and Alejandro Garnacho won the FIFA Puskás Award for his stunning goal.
The night reflected a celebration of talent across the football world, with Vinicius Junior’s triumph serving as the highlight. His recognition solidifies his place among the world’s best players and further elevates his status as one of football’s brightest stars.
