Rodri secured 1170 votes, the Brazilian — 1129.

Vinicius - and the entire Real Madrid delegation - snubbed the award ceremony in Paris after learning of the Brazilian had not been voted the winner.

Last season, Rodri played 50 matches for City, scored 9 goals and made 14 assists. Together with the team, he won the Premier League and Club World Cup.
