Rodri Wins Ballon d'Or 2024 Beating Vinicius, Bellingham, Others [FULL LIST]

Rodri has won Ballon d’Or 2024.

Newsone Nigeria reports Manchester City midfielder Rodri has been crowned the winner of the Ballon d’Or 2024 at a glitzy ceremony in Paris, France, beating Real Madrid’s Vinicius Jr.

The Spanish international reflected on the uncertain path that led him to football’s highest individual honour after receiving his award.

Rodri revealed in an acceptance speech on Monday at the ceremony in Paris, France, a pivotal moment from his early career.

He said, “One day I told my father: stop, I leave football, my dream is over. But he told me… no, keep going, let’s try until the end.”
According to him, that persistence has now been rewarded with football’s highest individual accolade.

“Today I’m here and I’m proud; I have to say thanks,” Rodri added.

The final rankings saw Rodri claim the top spot, with Real Madrid’s dynamic duo Vinicius Junior and Jude Bellingham completing the top three.

The full list of honourees includes 29 of football’s most outstanding performers, underscoring the competitive nature of this year’s award.
