With Manchester City and Spain, Rodri won the Premier League and Euro 2024, respectively.
Unexpectedly, Rodri is predicted to defeat Vinícius Júnior to win the 2024 Ballon d’Or.
According to Mario Cortegana of The Athletic, Real Madrid is aware that Vinícius Júnior will not win the 2024 Ballon d’Or; Rodri of Manchester City is now reportedly set to receive soccer’s most coveted individual award.
According to ESPN, the Brazilian forward will not travel to Paris, where the 2024 Ballon d’Or ceremony is being held at the Théâtre du Châtelet. His teammates Jude Bellingham and Dani Carvajal, who are also Ballon d’Or nominees, Carlo Ancelotti, and Florentino Pérez are also anticipated to miss the event.
Because of his role in Real Madrid’s La Liga, Champions League, and Spanish Super Cup victories, Vinícius Jr. was the front-runner to receive the prize. The Brazilian scored six goals in the Champions League, including one against Borussia Dortmund in the final, 15 goals in La Liga, and a hat trick in the Spanish Super Cup final.
However, Rodri also made a compelling argument for winning the Ballon d’Or. With 17 goal contributions, the midfielder played a crucial role in Manchester City’s Premier League victory. In addition, he helped Spain win Euro 2024 and won the UEFA Super Cup with the Citizens.
