"The Golden Ball? Why not?" a Spaniard believes in it!

On October 28, we will know the name of the 68th winner of the France Football Ballon d’Or during a ceremony in Paris. Who will succeed Lionel Messi who was elected for the 8th time last season?

Several candidates stand out in this race for the title. Vinicius Junior and Jude Bellingham seem to be the two main favorites for the final victory. But other contenders have serious arguments to win this prestigious trophy.

This is the case of the Spanish midfielder Rodri or the defender Dani Carvajal. The latter won the biggest trophies last season, both with his club and with his national team. The Madrid vice-captain therefore has a rather impressive CV.

At a press conference on Monday, the number 2 was asked about the future Ballon d’Or. The 32-year-old player believes that he could be in the running. “The Ballon d’Or? Why not! Last season was perfect for me. Being among the nominees is already a success,” he told reporters.
