VIDEO: Vinicius Jr aims cheeky response at Man City fans goading him with chants of 'where's your Ballon d'Or' during Champions League clash after being pipped to top prize by Rodri

The Brazilian was beaten to the 2024 Ballon d'Or by City's star midfielder Rodri and refused to attend the awards ceremony in France as a result. This provoked a banner from City's fans, on Tuesday during Real Madrid's visit to the Etihad Stadium for their Champions League play-offs clash, reading 'Stop Crying Your Heart Out'. Vinicius Jr then produced a Man Of The Match performance in Los Blancos' comeback 3-2 victory.

After starring for his club, the winger came up with a cheeky response as he was seen showing off the right sleeve of his shirt to the home fans, and pointed towards a Champions League Trophy with 15 written on it. He wanted to get under the City fans' skin by boasting about Real's incredible success in Europe.

Carlo Ancelotti's side will be back in action on Saturday in La Liga as they take on Osasuna away from home.
