The race for the Ballon d’Or remains up in the air following Spain’s victory at Euro 2024. The game featured various performances in the European Cup and America’s Cup, especially the performances of Rodri and Messi following the victory.

The race for the Ballon d’Or remains up in the air following Spain’s victory at Euro 2024. Luis de la Fuente defended Rodri, saying: “Please give the Ballon d’Or to Rodri!” This is the best in the world! ». However, despite impressive performances at the European Cup and Copa America, it is still difficult to determine who will receive the prestigious individual honor, which will be awarded in Paris on October 28.

Over in Spain, Rodri has excelled at Manchester City and at the European Championships, but his defensive role may limit his opportunities. Real Madrid prop Dani Carvajal has also been crucial to his success, although his influence is less well-known. Nico Williams and Lamin Yamal, on the other hand, while good at times, haven’t been consistent enough to be among the favourites.

Jude Bellingham might have been a favorite for England but despite his performances, a European Cup final defeat robbed him of his chance. Likewise, Vinicius Junior is ranked high following an excellent season with Real Madrid, but his candidacy has been undermined by Brazil’s disappointing performance in the Copa America.

Lionel Messi, while not at his peak, has won the 2024 Copa America, which might give him an advantage because of his impact and iconic status. Other initial contenders such as Kylian Mbappe and Toni Kroos now look less likely, although they should finish honorably.

Nominations for the Ballon d’Or will be announced on September 4 and will be crucial in a year when world football’s most prestigious individual title is openly contested.
