Brazilian forward HULK broke up with his wife of 12 years back in July 2019, having three children.
He came out and officially confirmed that he is dating his ex-Wife's NIECE and the pair got engaged recently.
He is now engaged to his children's cousin..


Yikes.

I fail to see the whole buzz behind Vini. Also, he just isn't that player, and never will be. If Barcelona could be a player, Vini would be it, more so than fucking Busqets.

He wasn't the key player for Real last season, and he isn't this nor will he ever be. He isn't that guy.
He is good, but not that level that the Real Madrid PR machine pushes him to be.

Don't quote me on this, nobody will ever change my mind about him. I rate Rodrygo much much MUCH more.

lol scoring decisive goals in 2 CL finals and 3 CL semi finals doesnt make him a key player?
Maybe he means the door was already open, like with Lukaky laughable hype the first time he was here :D

I'm generally way friendlier towards Real Madrid than I have any business being (my intense dislike for Barcelona essentially turns me into a closeted Madridista, it's kinda sick), but I just have to say the reaction all around to Rodri winning the Ballon d'Or over Vini has been nothing short of completely ridiculous. I wouldn't mind the players speaking out in defense of their teammate if those same players hadn't all gone radio silent just two days ago and failed to take any public accountability after seeing their biggest rival come into their house and shit all over them. Getting your asses handed to you by Barcelona was far more significant than one of your several world class superstar players getting snubbed from an award, get your priorities straight.

The fact that the club itself decided to throw a hissy fit in response to this - declined having anybody attend the ceremony, called the integrity of the whole award into question, etc. - is pathetic. You are motherfucking Real Madrid, you are the biggest club on the planet, you are the elite among the rest of the elites. Look in the mirror at what you are and accept it. Nobody is going to feel sympathy for you. Deal with it.

Vinicious is an amazing player but also a notorious diver which makes him unlikeable in my eyes. Also he was shit for Brazil in Copa America so definitely not Ballon d'Or worthy for me.

By reading your analysis about Real sometimes i wonder if you're a bigger Real fan than a Gladbach fan or even an Inter fan :D

Vini didn't win because of Fair Play. That docks crucial points. How many times has Vinicius bumped into someone midgame or tried to win a free kick in a dangerous area?

Rodri deservedly won. Vinícius is a terrific player, it was a really close race.
