Vinícius to skip Ballon d'Or, expects snub

Real Madrid star unlikely to attend ceremony

The Real Madrid winger is not among the 30 nominees for the prestigious award, which is given to the best player in the world.

Vinícius has been in impressive form for Real Madrid this season, scoring 10 goals in all competitions.

However, he is not expected to be in the running for the Ballon d'Or, with Karim Benzema and Sadio Mané the favorites to win the award.

Vinícius is said to be disappointed by his omission from the Ballon d'Or shortlist.

The Brazilian believes he has had a better season than some of the players who have been nominated.

However, Vinícius is not expected to make a public statement about his Ballon d'Or snub.

The Real Madrid star is focused on helping his team win the Champions League and La Liga.

According to sources close to Vinícius, the Brazilian feels disrespected by his omission from the Ballon d'Or shortlist.

Vinícius believes he has been one of the best players in the world this season.

The Brazilian is also said to be unhappy with the fact that no Brazilian players were nominated for the Ballon d'Or.

Despite his Ballon d'Or snub, Vinícius could still win the Kopa Trophy.

The Kopa Trophy is awarded to the best player under the age of 21.

Vinícius is one of the favorites to win the award, along with Barcelona's Gavi and Bayern Munich's Jamal Musiala.

Vinícius Júnior is a talented young player who has had a great season for Real Madrid.

However, he is unlikely to win the Ballon d'Or this year.

Vinícius may be disappointed by his omission from the Ballon d'Or shortlist, but he is still a rising star who has a bright future ahead of him.
