Title: Vinicius Junior set to win Socrates Award

Also being handed out tonight is the Socrates Award, named after the Brazil icon Socrates, to acknowledge humanitarian work by a footballer.

Sources with knowledge of the case have told me Real Madrid star Vinicius Junior will be winning it tonight, with the vast majority of Vinicius' entourage travelling to Paris. He is expected to make a tribute to the late, great football legend Pele.

His annual investment in the Vini Jr Institute, an education app for poor students, was 335,000 euros in 2022, more than 1 million in 2023 and in 2024 it is going to reach 2.5 million.

So we pretty much know the award winners for every category well in advance. What's the point of even watching then
