The Ballon d'Or ghost continues to haunt Vinícius Jr., who remains associated with the topic to this day. And it has to be said... fans haven’t forgotten what many saw as an "injustice," and they've tried to make their feelings known, as was the case in Venezuela.

The viral photo with the message to Vinícius Jr.

A group of Venezuelan fans was spotted with a banner during the CONMEBOL Qualifiers match at the Estadio Monumental in Maturín, where Brazil and Venezuela drew 1-1. But what really caught people's attention was the bold message: "Vinícius Jr. Undisputed Ballon d'Or," the banner read.

The photo quickly went viral on social media, accompanied by an unfortunate game for the Real Madrid star, who won a penalty but ended up missing twice after failing to convert.

The player who did deliver was Raphinha, who, debuting the number "10," scored a stunning free-kick goal, though it ultimately wasn’t enough.
