sure gringos are generally against brehs but brazillians in football escape a lot of that.
vini less so than his compatriots but i suppose that depends on how the brazilian looks. see hulk playing in russia.
" In 2012, he joined Russian Premier League side Zenit Saint Petersburg for €60 million, winning all three domestic honours and being named the competition's best player and being top scorer, once each"
africans get it far worse. see yaya toure.
rodri is a great player so it is a deserving win. shame that he plays for city.
he's not as exciting a player as some of the winners of the past but he is similar to say a lothar matthaus / matthius sammer level win.

How does Rodri not win in a treble winning year but this year, especially when you could say Yamal lit up the Euros morethan he did, Foden got all the PL plaudits, Vini was more decisive in the CL including the semifinals and final and voted best player.
Even if you argue he was Cities best player which is right, Foden still lit up the Prem. So I struggle as to see how he trumps Vini this year

Using this same logic, Jude was la Liga player of the year.
Look what Madrid PR got y'all writing think pieces about.

someone or something told me this
"The Ballon d'Or period typically runs from the beginning of one calendar year (January 1) to the end of the following year (December 31) for which the award is given. For example, the 2023 award considers performances from January 1, 2022, to December 31, 2022."
Yeah but Vini was decisive in the CL whereas Rodri wasnt as decisive in the Euro's and neither was clear cut the best player. Jude had an incredible 1st half of the season so understandable, Rodri didn't even make TOTS in the Prem or CL.
Vini's season wasn't that spectacular except in the CL to be honest 
He didn't create enough separation considering Bellingham was la Liga's best player and Brazil lost in the Copa America QFs
Rodri won Euro and was best player of tournament. Won the PL as well. Nothing that shocking about his win except he's not a forward I guess.

Eusebio and Dinho aren't black ?
I dunno if Fenomeno is black in the eyes of the Brazilians in this thread so I'll refrain from stating anything about him.
But he didn't standout at the Euros and Foden lit up the Prem with goals which usually is the determining factor

you're a couple keyboard strokes away from a st0rmfr0nt account and posting your grandwizard robe "halloween" pics.You basically justifying the racial abuse in that first post. Astagfirullah. Rodri really got it like that in the City fandom?

Tbh Carbajal was the worlds best RB last year and won everything including UCL finals MoTm as well as not being subbed off at half of euro finals. I know defenders don’t get love but the criteria they used for Rodri carva was more deserving
He didn't stand out ? Dude was literally player of the tournament... And he made both team of the season in EPL and team of the tournament in Euro.
Cause Messi won the 2022 World Cup which happened between the season (they don't use the calendar year). Based on what journalists said, this was basically reparations for Rodri.

What countryman and teammate? There is only Dani Carvajal.
