Real Madrid midfielder Vinícius Júnior commented on his victory in the nomination for the best player of 2024 according to FIFA.
"My time has come. It’s time to say it. Yes, I am the best player in the world, and I fought hard for it.
They tried and still try to devalue me, to belittle me, but they are not ready. No one will tell me what I should fight for, how I should behave.
I won for myself, for my family. With great support on this journey from Flamengo, Real, and the Brazil national team. Hundreds of my teammates over the years, people who accompany me every day in my routine, those who admire me.
Best footballer in the world," wrote Vinícius Júnior on his Instagram page.
