It has been revealed just how much Rodri outpaced Vinícius in the Ballon d'Or voting

At the end of last month, Manchester City midfielder Rodri surprisingly claimed the 2024 Ballon d'Or, despite Vinícius Júnior being the favorite. And only today has it been revealed just how narrow the margin was between the two.

Details: The points difference between the two frontrunners was minimal—just 41 points.

According to L'Équipe, Rodri received 1,170 points, while Vinícius Júnior earned 1,129.

The point totals for other voting participants have not yet been disclosed. As a reminder, Jude Bellingham took third place, and Dani Carvajal came in fourth.

Reminder: In Brazil, some believe that Vinícius was overlooked for the Ballon d'Or due to racial discrimination.
