Journalists and politicians in Brazil have criticised Rodri being voted the winner of the Ballon d'Or ahead of Vinicius Junior.
Brazil forward Vinicius, 24, was Real Madrid's top scorer last season as the Spanish giants won the Champions League and La Liga.
Manchester City's Spain midfielder Rodri helped his country win Euro 2024 in July and also won the Premier League, Uefa Super Cup and Club World Cup with City.
Rodri was awarded the prize in Paris on Monday with Vinicius absent from the ceremony along with representatives from his club.
