Ballon d'or: Real Betis takes a jab at Vinicius Jr after his 16th place finish | OneFootball

Vinicius Jr

Vinicius Jr has just been on the receiving end of a jab from a fellow Spanish club. Real Betis appears to be mocking the player's 16th-place finish in the 2025 Ballon d'Or rankings.

The reaction from Real Betis after the announcement of Ousmane Dembélé's Ballon d'Or triumph on Monday night has drawn plenty of attention. The Andalusian club responded on X to France Football's post announcing the PSG forward's win for the 2025 Ballon d'Or. The Spanish side didn’t hold back, taking a dig at Vinicius Jr.

The message posted by Betis, “Admin farei 10x se for preciso. Eles não estão preparados” (“Admin, I'll do it ten times if I have to. They're not ready”), repeats word-for-word the phrase the Brazilian posted after finishing second in the 2024 Ballon d'Or. At the time, he promised to come back stronger after being beaten by Rodri. The reference didn’t go unnoticed, especially since Vinicius’s comment had previously sparked plenty of mockery and memes during Real Madrid’s away matches.
