In a social media post, Gavi made no reference to Vinicius or to the surprise that the Brazilian did not win the Ballon d'Or and limited himself to congratulating the winner.

He wrote: "Congratulations, friend, well deserved." 

The two midfielders have a close friendship due to their relationship with the Spanish national team.
