Leo Messi on Instagram:
“Congratulations to all the winners and nominated ones for the Ballon d’Or 2024.
“Especially to Dibu, what a great, another award for the best goalkeeper in the world. And to Lautaro, to Scaloni and Garnacho.”
85 - #BallonDor winner Rodri has lost only one of his last 85 games for club and country (W66 D18), with that defeat coming at the hands of Erik ten Hag’s Manchester United in the FA Cup final in May. Blip.
4 – Rodri is just the fourth non-English player to win the #ballonDor while playing for an English club, after Denis Law in 1964 (Man Utd & Scotland), George Best in 1968 (Man Utd and Northern Ireland) and Cristiano Ronaldo in 2008 (Man Utd & Portugal). Citizen.
Jude Bellingham is the first Englishman to be named in the top 3 of the Ballon d’Or since Steven Gerrard and Frank Lampard in 2005.
Midfield maestros. 🪄
Vinicius Jr and his staff had meticulously prepared in detail for the trip to the Ballon d’Or.

Sergio Agüero on Rodri winning the Ballon d’Or:
“It’s deserved. Rodri is the best player in the world. Football is for everyone, not just for Real Madrid. They think they can do whatever they want…”
The decision of Real Madrid not to attend the Ballon d’Or ceremony was not only an act of protest, but a gesture of support towards Viní Jr, who was having a difficult time.

| Real Madrid will give explanations on why they didn’t attend the Ballon d’Or ceremony to members at the next Assembly (November 24).
