Barring an XXL individual performance in the Euro 2024 final on Sunday evening (9pm) in Berlin, Jude Bellingham has not carried England during the tournament, despite his sensational equalising goal, with an overhead kick, in the round of 16 won in extra time against Slovakia (2-1). The Real Madrid star will be among the favourites for the 2024 Ballon d’Or after having shone with the Merengues, Spanish champions and winner of the Champions League against Dortmund. But to be crowned best player of the season?
Sergio Agüero clearly gives his preference to another Real player. “Vini Jr. didn’t disappear at the Copa America. It’s just that Brazil is going through a difficult time and they need a good team. I watched the whole season and Vini had an incredible season. He was better than Mbappe. That doesn’t mean he’s a better player than Mbappe. But this season he was better.”launched the “Kun” in an interview with Stake. He did not mention his great friend Lionel Messi, who can lift a second Copa America in a row after a final against Colombia on Sunday.
No Ballon d’Or for Mbappé
Sergio Agüero delivers an interesting analysis between Vinicius and Kylian Mbappé, new attacking partners in a few days in the Spanish capital: “For me, Mbappé is much more complete. But this season, every time, Vini has made the difference. From the middle of the field, you can feel the danger. Mbappé, when a team faces a low block, it becomes difficult for him. Vini is much more skillful in this situation.”.
In conclusion, Manchester City’s all-time top scorer assures that, despite Bellingham’s superb season, Vinicius has been “much superior this season”The Brazilian winger, unstoppable on his left wing, had a 2023-2024 season with 23 goals and 11 assists in all competitions, being one of the two scorers for the Merengues in the Champions League final at Wembley.
