Vinicius Jr was left stunned after losing out on the 2024 Ballon d’Or award to Rodri.
The Real Madrid player was the odds-on favourite to clinch the prize for as long as the day itself.
But then news leaked that Rodri would win, forcing the entire Real Madrid contingent to boycott the ceremony.
The French media didn’t really like this and decided to mock the Brazilian forward for coming off as a sore loser.
Ahead of the ceremony, the Ballon d’Or stream of L’Equipe (the official partners of France Football) tried humoring their viewers by displaying some ‘popular’ football memes.
On one occasion, they showed off a lookalike of Vinicius Jr making a fool of himself in a short clip.
This was actually a clip of Ghanaian internet sensation Shatta Bandle dressing himself up to look similar as Vinicius.
But the biggest way to mock Vinicius was a short bit where they showed a meme of Lamine Yamal holding baby Vini on his arms.
This is a photoshopped picture of the Barcelona star holding his baby brother after their recent 4-0 thrashing of Real Madrid, with Vinicius being belittled in the process.
