Vinicius propelled Real Madrid to a dramatic come-from-behind victory against Borussia Dortmund in the Champions League, and fans claim he deserves the Ballon d'Or.

Vinicius Junior scored a hat-trick as Real Madrid turned boos into cheers with a 5-2 win over Borussia Dortmund in the UEFA Champions League on Wednesday (October 23, 2024). Madrid were 0-2 down at halftime in a rematch of last season’s final but rallied with three goals from Vinicius Junior — who also scored in the final in May — and one each from Antonio Rudiger and Lucas Vazquez.
