Vinicius Junior has shared a full squad photo with his Real Madrid team-mates and management after being being snubbed for the 2024 Ballon d'Or.

Whether it was an act of defiance or a show of unity, the Madrid winger and friends are all smiles as they pose for an official photo at their home ground, the Estadio Santiago Bernabeu, which 'Vini Jr' posted to his Instagram page.

The Brazilian winger had been hotly tipped to win the most prestigious individual prize in world football, but he ended up finishing second on the night in the voting, to Manchester City's midfield maestro, Rodri.
