The 24-year-old’s hat-trick in Real Madrid’s dramatic comeback win over Dortmund helps further explain why Vinicius Jr. is the overwhelming favorite to win the Ballon d’Or on Monday in Paris, although the award is given based on merit based on the previous performance. 

Ancelotti, while speaking to a news conference after the match, was convinced that the 24-year-old Vinicius would win the Ballon d’Or award for the best player in the world.

Ancelotti said on Tuesday.
“What I can say is that it’s rare to see a player who plays a second half like Vinicius did. And not because of the three goals but because of his character; he’s extraordinary.”  “Vinicius is going to win [the Ballon d’Or], not for what he did tonight, but for what he did last year. These three goals are already going to count for next year’s Ballon d’Or, that’s for sure. He is a player who gets whistled at because he can make a difference.

Vinícius scored 24 goals and provided 11 assists in all competitions last season for La Liga champions Madrid, including his team's second goal when they won the Champions League final win against Dortmund in June. Vinícius Júnior should win the Ballon d'Or after winning the Champions League, La Liga, and the Spanish Super Cup with Real Madrid last season.

In the betting world, Vinicius Junior is now clearly the favorite to become the fifth Brazilian to crown the 2024 Ballon d'Or award, also known as the best player in the world.
