Vinicius Jr Wins FIFA Best Award Before Real Madrid Training

Vinicius Junior, the Brazilian star of Real Madrid, won the 2024 FIFA Best Men’s Player award shortly before joining his teammates for their final training session ahead of the Intercontinental Cup final against Pachuca.

The training took place at the Lusail Stadium, the venue where Argentina lifted the 2022 World Cup. During the start of the session, Vinicius was noticeably absent, causing initial concerns among journalists and fans about a potential injury. However, these worries were soon put to rest.

According to reports, Vinicius was delayed because he had participated in a virtual ceremony to receive the FIFA Best Men’s Player award. The award recognized his exceptional performances throughout the year for Real Madrid, particularly his achievements in the Champions League and La Liga.

Vinicius arrived five minutes late to the training session but quickly joined his teammates. His presence confirmed that he was fully fit and ready for tomorrow’s crucial match.

Real Madrid will face Pachuca in the Intercontinental Cup final, aiming to add another international trophy to their illustrious cabinet.
