Real Madrid winger Vinicius Junior has lifted the Best Player award at the Globe Awards.

Real Madrid winger Vinícius Jr. has been honoured as the Best Men's Player at the 2024 Globe Soccer Awards held in Dubai, a new achievement in his career.

This latest award comes on the heels of his impressive performances throughout the year, despite narrowly losing the Ballon d'Or to Manchester City's Rodri earlier in October.

Vinícius Jr.'s victory at the Globe Awards not only speaks about his brilliance but also reminds the football world of his key role in Real Madrid's successes during the 2023/24 season, where he played a pivotal part in securing titles including the Champions League and La Liga.

In addition to Vinícius Jr.'s recognition, his teammate Jude Bellingham was awarded Best Midfielder and received the prestigious Maradona Award, further showcasing Real Madrid's dominance at this year's event.

The awards ceremony celebrated various talents across football, with notable mentions including Neymar Jr., who received a special Player Career Award, and Cristiano Ronaldo, awarded the title of all-time top goal scorer, recognising his incredible achievements and contributions to the world of football.

Vinícius Jr.'s journey to this award has been remarkable. At just 24 years old, he has quickly established himself as one of football's elite players. His trophy cabinet this year, including both the FIFA The Best award and now the Globe Soccer Award, serves as a reminder of his skill and determination on the field.

The Globe Soccer Awards not only celebrate individual achievements but also reflect the collective success of teams.
