Carlos Olmo Mocks Vinicius Junior After Ballon d'Or Outcome
Carlos Olmo, brother of Barcelona's Dani Olmo, posted a video on Instagram highlighting Vinicius Junior's unsportsmanlike behaviors, captioned 'Rodri truly saved football,' following the Ballon d'Or results.
The fierce rivalry between Barcelona and Real Madrid has taken a new turn following the recent Ballon d'Or ceremony. Carlos Olmo, brother of Barcelona midfielder Dani Olmo, shared a provocative video on Instagram targeting Real Madrid's Vinicius Junior.
The video compilation showcased instances of Vinicius Junior's controversial on-field actions, including protests, shoves, mockery of opponents, and aggressive tackles. Accompanying the footage, Carlos Olmo wrote: 'Rodri truly saved football,' referencing Manchester City's Rodri, who clinched the 2024 Ballon d'Or, an award many in Madrid circles anticipated would go to Vinicius.
This social media jab adds fuel to the enduring rivalry between Spain's football giants, especially in the wake of Real Madrid's decision to boycott the Ballon d'Or ceremony after Vinicius Junior was overlooked for the top honor.
