Manchester City midfielder Rodri's surprise win of the 2024 Ballon d'Or continues to make headlines, with media revealing more details on Real Madrid's reaction.

Details: According to Relevo, Real Madrid’s Vinícius Júnior was so confident of his victory that he hosted a celebratory party with friends and teammates just days before the ceremony.

The event reportedly went on until morning, during which Vinícius even promised each Real Madrid player a Rolex watch.

However, following the celebration, Vinícius received the unexpected news that the Ballon d'Or had gone to Rodri instead.

Reminder: Rodri has made history as the first Spanish player in 64 years to receive the Ballon d’Or.
