"We know that Vinicius is a target of racism in Spanish football and other parts of Europe, and he actively fights against racism. This leads us to question whether the result that gave Rodri the win was influenced by prejudice and racism against Vinicius." - Guga Chacra from Globo News.
"The [treatment of] Vinicius was the biggest injustice in the history of Ballon d'Or. The fact that he is Brazilian, plays for Real Madrid, and is a forward should have worked in his favour in the history of the award." - Gustavo Faldon, sports editor for Estadao.
"It sounds like an injustice to me." - Rodrigo Bueno, sports commentator for ESPN Brasil.
"The Ballon d'Or missed the opportunity to pay a heartfelt tribute to the most talked-about player of the season - known for his dribbling, goals, ability to make decisive plays, and social activism." - Milly Lacombe from UOL.
