Real Madrid attacker Vinicius Jr: To win Ballon d'Or I need my teammates

Real Madrid attacker Vinicius Jr admits winning the Ballon d'Or is a career ambition.

However, he insists it isn't an obsession.

He told France Football, "Let's hope, but priority is given to the team.

"Like Karim. He gave all his assists to Cristiano and it was always Cristiano who he carried the trophy. In the end he ended up winning it. I always talk about the importance of my teammates.

"If I score 60 goals in a season but we don't win, it's of no use. How can I win a Ballon d'Or if in the end my team didn't win anything?

"I think we all work together. And then, one day, like for Modric, like for Karim, one of our own is crowned. It's a dream."
