The Ballon d’Or has been won by a Brazilian footballer five times in history – can you name each and every one to have claimed the prestigious award in this short and sweet quiz?
Real Madrid superstar Vinicius Junior was hoping to add his name to the list of Brazilian football royalty that have lifted France Football’s legendary Golden Ball award.
Unfortunately, it wasn’t to be for Vinicius in 2024. He narrowly finished as the runner-up to Rodri, causing an almighty reaction in the Spanish and Brazilian media.
And last year, Raphinha was in the running but came fifth in a ranking topped by Ousmane Dembele.
We’ve given you just five minutes and your only clue is the year in which each player won it. The fella pictured above features twice.
