The 2024 Ballon d'Or ceremony concluded in Paris yesterday with the surprising victory of Manchester City midfielder Rodri over Real Madrid star Vinícius Júnior.
The winner was decided by 100 journalists from 100 countries, each selecting their top 10 players. However, one journalist's vote stood out the most.
Details: The biggest surprise came from the journalist representing El Salvador, who left Vinícius Júnior out of his top 10 entirely.
His list was ranked as follows:
- Bellingham (15 points)
- Haaland (12)
- Kroos (10)
- Lautaro Martínez (8)
- Dani Olmo (7)
- Çalhanoğlu (5)
- Rodri (4)
- Wirtz (3)
- Foden (2)
- Rúben Dias (1)
Reminder: Real Madrid reportedly believes that UEFA may have influenced Vinícius’s loss as retaliation for the club’s role in organizing the Super League.
