Neymar's incendiary tweet about Vinicius' Ballon d'Or ranking
The Brazilian could not believe his compatriot was not in the top three
The Ballon d'Or rankings have provided plenty of talking points. After the complaints in the hours that followed the gala in Paris on Monday, such as Thibaut Courtois saying a goalkeeper will never win the award and Real Madrid not being chosen as Club of the Year, now it is the time of Neymar to have his say.
Paris Saint-Germain's Brazilian forward has taken to Twitter to firstly congratulate Karim Benzema for claiming the prize, but then to complain about the final ranking of his international teammate Vinicius Jr, the Real Madrid winger.
Benzema merecido 👏🏽👏🏽 craque!!

Agora o Vini jr estar em 8 não dá
😂😂😂😂
Mínimo entre os 3
"Benzema, well deserved, crack," he wrote. "Vinicius finishing eighth is not enough 😂😂😂😂 At the very least he is among the top three."
