Hunter Predicts Ballon d’Or Top Two
Renowned Spanish journalist Graham Hunter has made his predictions for the upcoming Ballon d’Or award, naming Vinicius Júnior of Real Madrid and Rodri of Manchester City as his top two picks.
Hunter also believes that Jude Bellingham (Real Madrid), Dani Carvajal (Real Madrid), Toni Kroos (Real Madrid), and Lamine Yamal (Barcelona) will be among the other contenders for a place in the top spots.
“The top two will be from Vinícius Júnior and Rodri,” Hunter stated. “The next-best in class should be from Jude Bellingham, Dani Carvajal, Toni Kroos, and Lamine Yamal.”
The Ballon d’Or organizers have recently implemented a change, requiring judges to consider only the 2023-24 season when casting their votes.
