On October 28, we will finally know the identity of the 2024 Ballon d’Or. If 30 finalists are on the starting line, a handful of players stand out. For many, everything should be decided between Vinicius Jr (Real Madrid, Brazil) and Jude Bellingham (Real Madrid, England). The Spaniard Rodri (Manchester City) could also have his say. But for many, the big favorite is Vini Jr. The Spanish press also talked about it on Tuesday. In Brazil, this subject is also being discussed.
Indeed, Neymar Jr mentioned the case of his compatriot and friend during an interview given to Band Sports. His words are relayed by Brand. “Of course, I will support him to win the Ballon d’Or this year. For me, there is no other better candidate to win it. He is a guy who deserves it, because he is a fighter. He has suffered a lot throughout his life, but he has exceeded all expectations and criticism (…) He has become an idol for everyone.” The Merengues’ number 7 will appreciate this significant support.
