Vinícius Júnior and Aitana Bonmati win FIFA best player of the year awards

Associated Press  

DOHA, Qatar — Real Madrid star Vinícius Júnior finally got his hands on a big global player award on Tuesday. Vinícius was named the men’s player of the year at the FIFA’s “The Best” awards, where Barcelona playmaker Aitana Bonmati continued to clean up in the prizes for women’s soccer. No one is going to tell me who I should fight for, how I should behave.” Vinícius has been subjected to racist abuse in Spain and at one point earlier this year said he was “losing my desire to play” but added “I’ll keep fighting.” Bonmati won the award for best women’s player of the year making it back-to-back prizes at FIFA’s version of the older and more prestigious Ballon d’Or prize. Vinícius had the best season of his career, scoring 24 goals in 39 appearances for Madrid and helping the Spanish team to a record-extending 15th European Cup — and his second Champions League trophy. Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti was named best men’s coach, and United States coach Emma Hayes took the women’s prize.
