Rodri Wins 2024 Ballon d’Or

Rodri Stuns the World, Wins 2024 Ballon d’Or

In a shocking turn of events, Manchester City midfielder Rodri has been crowned the 2024 Ballon d’Or winner.

The Spaniard, who played a pivotal role in City’s Premier League triumph and Spain’s Euro 2024 victory, edged out Real Madrid trio Vinicius Junior, Jude Bellingham, and Dani Carvajal to claim the prestigious award.

The announcement has sent shockwaves through the football world, as many had predicted Vinicius Junior to be the favorite. However, a late twist in the voting process saw the Brazilian star miss out on the coveted prize.

In protest, Real Madrid decided to boycott the ceremony, despite being named Club of the Year and Carlo Ancelotti winning the Coach of the Year award.
