PSG forward Neymar believes Real Madrid forward Vinicius Junior should have finished in the top three at the 2022 Ballon d’Or awards.

Vinicius Junior finished eighth in the Ballon d’Or rankings after a season where he played a key role in Real Madrid’s La Liga and Champions League victories. 

Neymar congratulated Karim Benzema for a deserved Ballon d’Or award but wasn’t impressed Vinicius didn’t finish in the top three.

“Benzema, well deserved top player!!” Neymar wrote on Twitter. “But Vini jr in 8th it’s a joke. He’s top 3 minimum.”

Bayern Munich star Sadio Mane finished second in the Ballon d’Or while Kevin De Bruyne of Manchester City finished third.
