⚽Man City put giant image of Rodri with Ballon d’Or in Etihad tunnel for all Real Madrid players to see

As Real Madrid made their way to the Etihad Stadium for their eagerly awaited match against Manchester City, one notable feature in the tunnel immediately stood out.

 

When Vinícius Júnior walked through, his attention was drawn to a large image of Rodri, confidently showcasing his Ballon d’Or. The image’s placement, directly along the path to the dressing rooms, acted as a clear reminder of City’s supremacy and their midfield star’s accomplishments.

 

Whether this was intentional or not, seeing Rodri’s image could have subtly influenced the mindset of those walking through, setting the stage for a tense confrontation between the two European giants.

 

Such a tribute is typically reserved for a club museum, leading to the question—was this simply decorative, or a deliberate attempt to unsettle Vinícius Júnior?

 

The English media and supporters are aware of how much the Ballon d’Or omission impacted him. Many Madrid supporters still feel Vini was unjustly ignored, and the sight of Rodri’s image in the tunnel might have been a slight directed at the Brazilian forward.

 

Madrid fans aren’t taking this lightly. They expect Vini to deliver on the field:

 

“Vini, we need a brace tonight.”

“Time for payback, man.”

 

Even Cristiano Ronaldo joined the Ballon d’Or discussion, asserting that Vinícius Jr. deserved the accolade more than Lionel Messi and Rodri.

 

The scene is set for a fierce showdown. Will Vini use this as motivation for revenge?
