Brazilian striker Neymar believes that his compatriot Vinicius Junior should win the Ballon d'Or nomination.
- "Of course, Vinicius is my favorite in this category. No one deserves it more than him. Vinicius is a fighter who has suffered a lot during his career. He has exceeded my expectations. He has managed to withstand the criticism of trolls and become an idol for millions," said Neymar.
