<p>Vinicius Jr has reacted to Rodri's Ballon d'Or triumph on X, vowing to "do it 10x if I have to". The Real Madrid star wrote: "I'll do it 10x if I have to. They're not ready," in a post that instantly went viral on social media.</p><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="pt" dir="ltr">Eu farei 10x se for preciso.

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>Vinicius appeared to be all set to claim his first Ballon d'Or award until it was reported on Monday afternoon that the Brazilian and a contingent of Real Madrid players didn't plan to attend the ceremony in Paris. They had clearly gotten wind of Rodri's success and, along with head coach Carlo Ancelotti, <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/vincius-junior-convinced-not-crowned-2024-ballon-dor-winner-furious-real-madrid-cancel-ceremony-travel-plans-jude-bellingham/bltc6de090cd902d4d6" target="_blank">decided to boycott the event</a>.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>Vinicius has already received a lot of support from his Real Madrid team-mates after finishing second in the voting, with <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/eduardo-camavinga-football-politics-rodri-wins-ballon-d-or-real-madrid-stars-support-vinicius-jr/blt69e19857939d1cfd" target="_blank">Eduardo Camavinga issuing a particularly passionate response</a>.</p>

DID YOU KNOW?

<p>The fallout will certainly continue after one of the most controversial ceremonies in history. Vinicius will aim to send the voters a message when Real Madrid take on Valencia on Saturday.</p>
