Jennifer Hermoso’s Brother Claims Viní Jr. Was Initially Told He Would Win 2024 Ballon d’Or.

A new claim has emerged surrounding the controversial 2024 Ballon d’Or, with Jennifer Hermoso’s brother, Rafa, alleging that Vinícius Júnior was initially informed that he would win the prestigious award before being told later that he would not.

Rafa Hermoso reportedly made the claim on Instagram, stating that Vinícius Júnior had been told ahead of the 2024 Ballon d’Or ceremony that he would be crowned the winner.

According to the allegation, Vinícius was also informed that Jennifer Hermoso would present him with the award during the ceremony.

However, Rafa claims that the Real Madrid forward was later notified that he would not win the Ballon d’Or, with the award ultimately going to Manchester City midfielder Rodri.

The decision sparked significant controversy at the time, particularly within Real Madrid, with Vinícius and several members of the club’s delegation deciding not to attend the ceremony in Paris.

Rafa Hermoso’s latest claim adds another layer to the debate surrounding the 2024 award. However, the allegation has not been independently verified, and it remains unclear what information, if any, was communicated to Vinícius before the ceremony.
