Spanish heavyweights Real Madrid are set to honour Brazilian-Cameroonian Vinicius Jr. before their match against Sevilla on December 22, following his Player of the Year accolade at FIFA The Best awards.
This recognition, although not a Ballon d’Or win, marks a major achievement for the forward, highlighting his contributions to the team over the past year.
The tribute will take place during a pre-match ceremony at the Santiago Bernabéu Stadium.
Despite his absence from the pitch due to a suspension—resulting from accumulating five yellow cards—Vinicius will present his award to the club as a gesture of gratitude for their support, especially after his disappointment with the Ballon d’Or results.
Vinicius’s suspension comes after he received a yellow card for dissent during a recent game against Rayo Vallecano.
His passionate reactions to officiating decisions have frequently led to disciplinary issues this season, underscoring the need for greater composure in critical moments.
As Real Madrid prepares for this important clash against Sevilla, the absence of Vinicius will be felt, given his importance to the team.
