'Well deserved!' - Real Madrid star Vinicius Junior receives special 'keep flying' message from Brazil team-mate Neymar after scooping The Best FIFA Men's Player award

<p>Vinicius added another prestigious accolade to his CV after being declared&nbsp;The Best FIFA Men's Player winner for 2024 at a ceremony on Tuesday in Doha. The award is a culmination of an extraordinary year after playing a critical role in Real Madrid’s remarkable double success last season, as Los Blancos secured the La Liga title and Champions League.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>Neymar took to social media to celebrate Vinícius’s success and shared a picture of the Real Madrid star holding his trophy with the caption: "Congrats Vini. Well deserved. Very happy for you. Keep flying."</p><picture><source srcset="https://assets.goal.com/images/v3/blt598ff5fd145d1dc6/Snapinsta.app_470835295_599185866172964_7047798493023139727_n_1024.jpg?format=webp" type="image/webp"><source srcset="https://assets.goal.com/images/v3/blt598ff5fd145d1dc6/Snapinsta.app_470835295_599185866172964_7047798493023139727_n_1024.jpg?format=jpg" type="image/jpeg"><img src="https://assets.goal.com/images/v3/blt598ff5fd145d1dc6/Snapinsta.app_470835295_599185866172964_7047798493023139727_n_1024.jpg?format=jpg" alt="Vinicius Jr" data-source="" data-copyright="@neymarjr Instagram" data-portal-copyright="@neymarjr Instagram" perform:prop="uuid:blt598ff5fd145d1dc6;width:1320;height:2346"></picture><p></p><p></p>

WHAT NEYMAR SAID

<p>Vinicius' achievement comes shortly after narrowly missing out on the Ballon d’Or in October, which was awarded to Manchester City midfielder Rodri. Nonetheless, the Brazilian's stats this season speak volumes about his impact on the pitch as in just 20 appearances across all competitions, the forward has registered an impressive tally of 13 goals and nine assists. </p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>The accolades might not stop here for Vinícius. Real Madrid are gearing up for the Intercontinental Cup final, where they will face Mexican club Pachuca in Qatar on Wednesday. Vinicius will undoubtedly look to add yet another trophy to his growing collection, as his stellar season shows no signs of slowing down.</p>
