Real Madrid fans ramp up Vinícius Jr. Ballon d’Or calls during Alavés clash | OneFootball

The home crowd in attendance at Real Madrid’s meeting with Alavés on Tuesday night have made use of the opportunity to ramp up the Vinícius Jr. Ballon d’Or campaign.

Real, of course, are currently locked in action.

With the title long wrapped up, Carlo Ancelotti’s troops have welcomed the aforementioned Alavés to the Spanish capital, for a La Liga clash.

Keen to keep his star performers sharp ahead of next month’s Champions League final, boss Ancelotti opted for an almost full strength XI for the matchup.

And two such players, as things stand, represent the difference when it comes to the scoreline at the Santiago Bernabéu.

Jude Bellingham was first on target, before the aforementioned Vinícius Jr. doubled Los Blancos’ advantage just inside the half-hour mark.

And, as alluded to above, the home support responded to as much by collectively ramping up calls for the latter to be named world football’s best player.

How? By way of booming chants of:

‘BALON DE ORO, VINICIUS BALON DE ORO, BALON DE OOOORO, VINICIUS BALON DE OOORO’
