Ballon d'Or, Rodri in the history of the Premier League!

Rodri moves into a new dimension! This Monday evening, the Spanish midfielder was elected Ballon d’Or France Football 2024 for the first time to everyone’s surprise.

The Manchester City metronome is ahead of Vinicius Junior, Jude Bellingham and Dani Carvajal in the rankings.

With this award he also becomes the first Premier League player to receive the prestigious distinction since Cristiano Ronaldo during the 2008 edition and also the 7th player from the English championship.

He succeeds Stanley Matthews (Blackpool FC), Denis Law (Manchester United), Bobby Charlton (Manchester United), Georges Best (Manchester United), Michael Owen (Liverpool FC) and Cristiano Ronaldo (Manchester United).

Currently injured until the end of the season, the European champion with Spain should be celebrated by Manchester City on November 23 during the Premier League match counting for the 12th day against Tottenham. The Mancunian club is planning a great celebration for its new Ballon d’Or.
