None of Vinicius, Bellingham, or Lionel Messi will win the 2024 Ballon d’Or, according to Belgian footballer Jan Vertonghen. In a social media post, he revealed the winner’s name.
According to the footballer, Rodri will be the winner of the 2024 Ballon d’Or ahead of Vinicius, Bellingham, and Lionel Messi. After posting a photo of his favorite, he captioned it: “Rodri, Ballon d’Or confirmed.” It’s worth noting that Rodri is among the favorites this year, ranking 4th behind Mbappé, Vinicius, and Bellingham.
It should also be noted that Jan Vertonghen is not the only one expressing support for Rodri. Prior to him, Spanish coach Luis de la Fuente also voiced similar sentiments.
According to the Spanish coach, this year’s winner has only one name, and it’s his player Rodri.
The former coach of the Spanish youth team sees his vice-captain as the clear favorite to win the golden trophy.
Luis de la Fuente spoke about the 2024 Ballon d’Or and left no chance for other players mentioned as potential winners. “Rodri must be the Ballon d’Or winner. Please give it to him! He is simply the best player in the world,” declared the European champion technician.
Indeed, Spain had an impressive tournament this year and was crowned champion on Sunday, July 14, 2024, against England.
Within Luis de la Fuente’s team, Rodri is clearly the playmaker, dictating the tempo for the Spanish squad.
The Man City player was also named the best player of the tournament at its conclusion, and for his coach, he deserves the Ballon d’Or as well.
Rodri has long been considered the world’s best defensive midfielder due to his club performances.
This season, despite his continued excellence, not winning the Champions League could potentially affect his chances with voters.
