Dubai: The 15th Globe Soccer Awards happened in Dubai on December 27. It was a big event where some of the world’s best football players were honored. Brazilian footballer Vinicius Jr. won the Best Men’s Player award, making him the star of the evening. The event took place at Atlantis, The Palm, a famous hotel in Dubai.
Cristiano Ronaldo, the famous Portuguese footballer, also got an important award. Ronaldo was named the Best Middle Eastern Player for his great performance while playing for Al Nassr in the Saudi Pro League. Since he joined the club in January 2023, Ronaldo has scored 74 goals in 83 matches. His amazing efforts helped him win this award.
Ronaldo Talks About Vinicius Jr.
While speaking at the event, Ronaldo talked about Vinicius Jr. and how he felt the Brazilian player was treated unfairly at the Ballon d’Or awards. Ronaldo said, “I think Vinicius deserved to win the golden ball. It was unfair that he didn’t win. Rodri deserved it too, but Vinicius won the Champions League and scored in the final. They should have given it to him.”
