Who will become world footballer? Unusual FIFA award
Real Madrid's Vinicius Junior was named FIFA World Player of the Year in Doha on Tuesday. However, it was not a traditional award ceremony, but the winners were announced at a gala dinner.
After Vinicius missed out on the Ballon d'Or, which was won by Manchester City midfielder Rodri, the Brazilian was able to celebrate on Tuesday. The Spanish player Aitana Bonmati from FC Barcelona was crowned world footballer of the year.
Emiliano Martinez from Aston Villa won the goalkeeping category. Real coach Carlo Ancelotti was named world coach. The "Goal of the Year" was scored by Manchester United's Alejandro Garnacho. His super goal, which had caused amazement in the win against Everton around a year ago, was also honored at the FIFA Gala in Doha.
