'I waited all year!' - Brazil legend Marta goes viral for FURIOUS rant on Vinicius Junior's Ballon d'Or snub as she bizarrely screams in car park while pushing dog in a baby stroller

<p>Real Madrid had been expecting Vinicius Jr to be crowned the best player in the world but ended up boycotting the glitzy ceremony after <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/real-madrid-statement-ballon-dor-uefa-disrespect-vinicius-jr-rodri/blt6e99d5565362d1d2" target="_blank">learning Rodri would win the Ballon d'Or instead</a>. Los Blancos are not the only ones seething at the turn of events, with Marta posting a video on social media to express her rage at the news. Marta can be seen ranting at the decision while, rather bizarrely, pushing a baby stroller containing a dog through a car park.</p><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="es" dir="ltr">🗣️ Marta, seis veces mejor jugadora del año de FIFA.<br><br>😡 "Yo esperé un año entero para ver a Vinicius ser reconocido merecidamente como mejor jugador de la actualidad. ¿Qué Balón de Oro es este? ¡No!".<a href="https://t.co/02Y2UI70Aj">pic.twitter.com/02Y2UI70Aj</a></p>— madridistaReal (@RMadridistaReal) <a href="https://twitter.com/RMadridistaReal/status/1850971263243628828?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">October 28, 2024</a></blockquote>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>She said: "I waited all year to see&nbsp;Vini Jr.&nbsp;deservedly recognized as the best player of the moment. Now he tells me they won’t give him the Ballon d’Or? What Ballon d’Or is that? No, it’s over!”</p>

WHAT MARTA SAID

<p>Rodri's Ballon d'Or win has sparked plenty of debate and controversy throughout the football world. <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/rodri-ballon-dor-win-biggest-robbery-football-history-angry-vinicius-jr-fans-real-madrid/bltcfe5b1e7e153e9a8" target="_blank">Madrid fans have described Vini Jr's</a> snub as the "biggest robbery in football history," while former and current team-mates <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/toni-kroos-slams-ballon-dor-award-no-place-in-football-former-real-madrid-team-mate-vinicius-jr-snubs-ceremony/blt75707fbf8b263f3f" target="_blank">Toni Kroos</a> and <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/eduardo-camavinga-football-politics-rodri-wins-ballon-d-or-real-madrid-stars-support-vinicius-jr/blt69e19857939d1cfd" target="_blank">Eduardo Camavinga</a> have also hit out after seeing the Brazilian miss out. Real Madrid did end up winning the Men's Club of the Year and <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/carlo-ancelotti-men-s-coach-of-year-ballon-d-or-ceremony-xabi-alonso-pep-guardiola/blt4f9630905d966f8d" target="_blank">Coach of the Year</a> prizes but had no representatives at the ceremony to pick up their prizes after cancelling plans to send a 50-strong delegation to the ceremony.</p><p></p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>Marta knows all about being crowned the best player in the world. The Brazil great was named the best female player in the world on six occasions by FIFA.</p><p><strong></strong></p>
