VIDEO: Manchester City's Rodri Seen Mocking Real Madrid Rival Vinicius Jr. At Ballon d'Or After Party
It's been two days since Real Madrid forward Vinicius Jr. finished in second place to Manchester City midfielder Rodri for the Ballon d'Or 2024. When most expected Vinicius Jr. to win, the Spanish star triumphed, much to the shock of many associated with the game.
If this wasn't already the start of a rivalry, that might have changed now.

When Real Madrid president Florentino Perez decided that the team would boycott the event after learning Los Blancos forward Vinicius Jr. would not win the Ballon d'Or, drama would always follow.
The video may be a casual bit of fun, but it shows a different side of the Manchester City player. His club saw it as beyond the line of fun, with El Chiringuito TV reporting that the club deleted the post. However, it was too late for it not to be out for everybody to see.
