However, shocking reports are now claiming Vinicius Jr has NOT won.
And Real Madrid officials are not taking the news well.
Paris-based RMC Sport claim: “The first consequence of this upcoming twist at the Ballon d’Or, and not the least, is that the Real Madrid delegation has cancelled its visit to Paris.
“Madrid president Florentino Perez is furious.”
RMC Sport journalist Fabrice Hawkins earlier claimed: “Vinicius Jr’s entourage are now convinced that the Real Madrid forward will NOT be named as the #BallonDor winner.
“‘Everyone in Madrid’ has this feeling.”
Vinicius Jr has enjoyed a glittering year, helping to lead his club to the LaLiga and Champions League titles in 2023-24.
The red-hot forward scored six and assisted four more in just ten Champions League games as Real won their 15th European crown.

The Brazilian even scored the second in the 2-0 final win over Borussia Dortmund.
Vini Jr was also involved in 20 goals in just 26 LaLiga games last season.
While it’s not yet known who has won the gong, Manchester City star Rodri would be the red-hot favourite.
As well as leading Pep Guardiola’s side to a fourth straight Premier League title – and sixth in seven seasons – the midfield linchpin guided Spain to the Euro 2024 title, beating England in the final.
