There are no big surprises in the choice of the best young player in the world, i.e. the winner of the Kopa Award (named after Raymond Kopa).
The sixth person to win this award so far is Jude Bellingham, which is really no surprise. He had a great season with the England national team and Borussia Dortmund, and after moving to Real, he became one of the best players in the world.
The award is named after Socrates, The legendary Brazilian football player and doctor, who belonged to another Real player. It’s about Vinicius Junior.
It is an award for humanitarian work in sports, which he earned through his many donations as well as his fierce fight against racism in football.
