The Brazilian remarked, “It is an honour to be included in this list alongside so many football legends.”
Miguel Ángel Oliver, president of the news agency, gave Vini Jr. the EFE Trophy for the Best Ibero-American Player of 2023 in the Real Madrid City boardroom in front of Florentino Pérez, the club president. The forward, who has been recognised as one of the top players in the world of football, earned the award for the second consecutive year. The 23-goal scorer from Brazil helped his team win the Copa del Rey and the Club World Cup in 2023, for which he was awarded the Golden Ball.
Vini Jr. said, “It is very important for me because I work every day to perform at my best and to help the team,” after accepting the award.
I owe my teammates a debt of gratitude for their support in helping me win individual accolades. In order to win additional trophies, I want to keep doing this.
Being listed with so many legendary football players is an honour for me. In order to continue winning and have my name recorded in our club’s history, I want to keep putting in a lot of effort. I’m happy with all I’ve done so far this season, and I hope we can keep winning championships for Real Madrid in this manner.
