Written by The race for the Ballon d’Or 2024 is getting hotter by day and there is a great division on who should be crowned the Ballon d’Or win for the year 2024.
There are five competitors for the Ballon d’Or and they are Rodri of Manchester City, Jude Bellingham, Vinicius Junior and Dani Carvajal of Real Madrid and Lautaro Martinez of Inter Milan.
There are people who are rooting for Rodri to be crowned the Ballon d’Or winner for 2024 for the Achievements that he has gotten and other people are also stating that he does not deserve it because he did not win the Champions League.
This is a close look at the achievements of the top five contenders
Rodri
Rodri led Spain to win the EURO 2024 Competition and he was also crowned as the Player of the Tournament. Aside from that, Rodri also won the English Premier League title with Manchester City, the FIFA Club World Cup Champion, FIFA Club Golden Ball award, EUFA Super Cup winner, UEFA Nations League Champion and UEFA Nations League Player of the final.
Vinicius Jr.
Despite winning the Champions League, Vinicius Jr did not impress very much at the Copa America and he did not help Brazil that much to help them win that competition.
Jude Bellingham
Jude Bellingham also won the Champions League with Real Madrid but failed to win the EURO 2024 with England, as a matter of fact, he lost the final to Spain after Rodri bossed the midfield very well.
Dani Carvajal
Dani Carvajal won the Champions League with Real Madrid and again won the EURO 2024 with Spain. He is a defender and he did his best to make sure that Real Madrid and Spain’s defence was intact.
Lautaro Martinez
Lautaro Martinez scored a very important goal for Argentina and he helped his country to win the Copa America but that alone is not very enough to win the Ballon d’Or.
Among all these players, Rodri has the best statistics to win the Ballon d’Or than all of them because of all the achievements that he has managed to get.
