Vinny beat ten other nominees for the award, including Ballon d’Or winner Victor Rodri as well as four past and present Real Madrid teammates. The coach and captain of the national team, as well as media representatives and fans, had their say in deciding the winner. Here is a breakdown the best Men’s Player Vote.
