Vinicius Junior and Aitana Bonmati: The best players in FIFA 2024!
A triumph for Real Madrid and Barcelona: Vinicius Junior and Aitana Bonmati conquer the FIFA Best Awards!
In a spectacular showdown of the world's best footballers, the stars of Real Madrid and Barcelona were awarded the coveted FIFA Best Awards! Brazilian whirlwind Vinicius Junior was crowned the men's best player, while the talented Aitana Bonmati picked up the award for the women's best player. An evening full of emotions and impressive performances!
The 24-year-old Vinicius Junior, who shone with 24 goals in 39 games for Real Madrid last season, left the competition behind. In the run-up to the awards ceremony, he was angry about the loss of the Ballon d'Or to Manchester City's Rodri and boycotted the ceremony in Paris. But this time he was ready to celebrate the victory and traveled to Doha to collect his award.
A moving moment for Vinicius
“I don’t even know where to start,” Vinicius admitted in an emotional moment. "It was so far away that it seemed impossible to come here. I was a child playing football barefoot on the streets of São Gonçalo, close to poverty and crime." His words touched the hearts of the audience and showed how important this success is for him and many other children who dream of a better future.
On Instagram he left no doubt that he wants to stand up to the critics: "Today I write to the boy who saw so many idols lift this trophy... your time has come. Or rather, my time has come. The time to say... yes, I am the best player in the world and I fought hard for it." Vinicius, who was subjected to racist hostility in Spain, remains determined: “I will continue to fight.”
Aitana Bonmati: The queen of women's football
26-year-old Aitana Bonmati continued her impressive winning streak and was named the women's best player. After her triumphant year in which she won the Spanish League, Spanish Cup and Champions League with Barcelona, the joy of receiving the award was immense. "I am grateful to receive this award. As always, I say it is a team effort," explained Bonmati modestly.
FIFA announced that the winners were chosen through an "equal voting system" that included fans, captains and coaches of all national teams, as well as media representatives. Nominations were based on players' performances from August 21, 2023 to August 10, 2024.
Vinicius' impressive season and Bonmati's unstoppable career make it clear that these two players will shape the future of football. While Vinicius Junior wins the hearts of fans, Aitana Bonmati shows that women's football is on the rise and the best players in the world can no longer be ignored.
The FIFA Best Awards were not only a celebration of football, but also a symbol that dreams can come true, no matter where you come from. An evening that will go down in the history books!
