Rodri Responds to Ronaldo’s Comments About His 2024 Ballon d’Or Victory
Rodri, the talented Manchester City and Spain midfielder, has responded to Cristiano Ronaldo’s recent comments about his 2024 Ballon d’Or win.
Ronaldo, who has claimed the prestigious award five times, expressed his belief that Real Madrid’s Vinicius Junior was unfairly denied the title, stating, “Vinicius Jr should have won the Ballon d’Or, in my opinion it was clear.
It was unfair. This is why I love the Globe Soccer Awards, they are honest.”
Rodri, in an interview with AS, reacted to Ronaldo’s remarks, calling them surprising.
He said, “He knows better than anyone how the award works and, most importantly, how the winner is chosen.
This year, the journalists who voted decided that I should win it.”
The 28-year-old midfielder pointed out the irony in Ronaldo’s statement, adding, “These same journalists were likely the ones who voted for him to win the award in the past, and I imagine that at that time, he agreed with their decision.”
Chelsea player Enzo Fernández is in discussions to join Manchester City. This information was revealed by Fabrizio Romano, who shared that the two clubs are discussing a potential deal.
He wrote: “Enzo Fernández has a verbal agreement with Manchester City on personal terms.
“Deal depends on club-to-club decision, as #MCFC have not sent an official bid yet, but contacts will take place soon; decision on price is up to Chelsea.
“Enzo could be out again this weekend.”
Manchester City manager Enzo Maresca mentions his captains for the team. He mentions Rúben Dias and Erling Haaland.
He shared “We have experienced players. For sure, we have leaders. Now we need to wait four or five more days until the transfer window closes to see if we can add one or two more captains to Ruben [Dias] and Erling , who at the moment are the two captains.”
Maresca confirmed the pair as part of his leadership group ahead of the 2026/27 season, with two more captains expected to be selected after the transfer window closes.
Chelsea manager speaks on the team and shares thoughts on considering a change in goalkeepers, giving another goalkeeper, Mike Penders, a chance.
“Penders is part of the squad, so he has an opportunity. We will decide and then I am giving the team tomorrow to the players, so I prefer to respect that they know first.”
