Manchester City midfielder Rodri has claimed the 2024 Ballon d’Or, outpacing Real Madrid stars Jude Bellingham, Vinicius Junior, and Dani Carvajal.
This win marks him as only the second Premier League player in 16 years to earn this prestigious title, following Cristiano Ronaldo’s win in 2008. The 28-year-old Spaniard also helped secure Spain’s Euro 2024 victory, where he was named Best Player.
Rodri’s impact both in the Premier League and on the international stage underscores his rise to global acclaim.
