Rodri should be winning this in my opinion. He was named the player of the tournament at the Euros and was also one of the best players that pushed Manchester City to the premier league title this same year. Rodri absolutely deserves the award.

With the conclusion of Euro 2024 and Copa America, the race for the 2024 Ballon d’Or has become clearer, highlighting several key contenders based on their performances in both club and international tournaments.

Top Contenders

1. Jude Bellingham (Real Madrid and England)
   Bellingham has had an outstanding season, contributing significantly to Real Madrid’s success with 23 goals and 13 assists across 42 matches. His performance in Euro 2024, where England reached the final, has solidified his position as a frontrunner for the Ballon d’Or, especially if he continues to shine on the international stage.

2. Vinicius Jr. (Real Madrid)
   Vinicius Jr. has also been a standout performer, playing a crucial role in Real Madrid’s Champions League and La Liga victories. He scored 24 goals and 11 assists this season, including key contributions in the Champions League final. However, his international performance with Brazil in Copa America was less impactful, which may affect his overall candidacy.

3. Rodri (Manchester City and Spain)
   Rodri’s pivotal role in Manchester City’s treble-winning season and his performance in Spain’s Euro 2024 triumph makes him a strong contender. His defensive contributions and leadership have been crucial, and winning both the Premier League and Euro 2024 enhances his chances.

4. Kylian Mbappe (PSG and France)
   Despite being one of the most talented players globally, Mbappe’s disappointing Euro 2024 campaign, where he scored only one penalty and faced criticism for his performance, has diminished his chances. His club success with PSG (44 goals and 10 assists in 48 games) remains notable, but his international showing may overshadow it.

5. Lionel Messi (Inter Miami and Argentina)
   Messi’s recent success in winning the Copa America with Argentina adds to his legacy, but his move to Major League Soccer has likely reduced his chances of winning a ninth Ballon d’Or. His performance in a less competitive league may not weigh as heavily in the voting process.

Conclusion

My pick Rodri. Rodri’s recent success positions him favorably.

The game can be won and lost in midfield, or so they say. Even so, only three central midfielders have managed to win the Ballon d’Or since the inception of the award. Perhaps time for Rodri to win!

Jude Bellingham and Vinicius Jr. appear to be the leading candidates too for the 2024 Ballon d’Or, particularly due to their club achievements and contributions in international tournaments. The final decision will depend on their performances in the upcoming matches and how voters weigh international success against club achievements. The 2024 Ballon d’Or ceremony is scheduled for October 28, 2024.
