Nigerian football fans reacted to the news that Rodri, a player for Manchester City and Spain, has won the 2024 Ballon d’Or, beating out Real Madrid’s Vinicius Junior.
On October 29, social media was buzzing as fans looked forward to a new winner after Messi and Ronaldo’s long reign.
Many believed Vinicius would take the award, but Real Madrid’s decision to boycott the ceremony changed everything.
Rodri ended up winning, surpassing Vinicius, Jude Bellingham, and Dani Carvajal.
Some fans humorously suggested that Vinicius should contact Martins Otse, also known as Verydarkman, to fight against this perceived injustice.
