Ballon d’Or: shattering revelation about Rodri’s victory!

France Football provided important details this Friday on Rodri’s coronation for the 2024 edition of the Ballon d’Or.

The days have passed and the controversy has faded somewhat. But bitterness remains stubborn in the ranks of real Madrid. Upset at not seeing Vinicius crowned France Football Ballon d’Or, the Spanish club refused to go to the ceremony organized at the Théâtre du Châtelet.

Against all expectations, the Brazilian winger was beaten in the polls by the Spaniard Rodri, European champion with La Roja and English champion with Manchester City. A coronation that was played out in a pocket handkerchief…

A starving gap between Rodri and Vinicius

France Football has indeed provided important details regarding the outcome of this 2024 edition of the Ballon d’Or. The French monthly revealed the number of points which separated the first two in the ranking. And he’s starving.

Only 4 points separated the winner Rodri from his runner-up Vinicius Jr. A surprising fact in view of the new scale, which awarded more points to the first (15) than in previous years. However, this is not an absolute record in the history of individual distinction.
