Ex-Arsenal Player Stewart Robson Makes Bold Ballon d’Or Claim: Rodri Deserves Award for Dominating Games
Robson believes Manchester City’s Rodri is the clear favorite for the 2024 Ballon d’Or, highlighting his crucial role in recent trophies. He pointed out that Rodri only had one off-game last season, attributing it to the FA Cup final loss.
“Rodri dominates games,” Robson told ESPN. “He controls the tempo and dictates play. It’s no surprise City and Spain thrived with him on the pitch.”
This puts Rodri in direct competition with the likes of Vinicius Jr and Jude Bellingham, but Robson argues his consistent dominance makes him the standout candidate.
