Ronaldo Questions Ballon d’Or Credibility After Vinícius Misses Out
Cristiano Ronaldo has voiced his opinion that Real Madrid’s Vinícius Júnior was more deserving of the 2024 Ballon d’Or than Manchester City’s Rodri. Speaking at the Globe Soccer Awards, Ronaldo remarked, “In my opinion, he [Vinícius] deserved to win the golden ball [Ballon d’Or award].
It was unfair in my opinion. I say this in front of everybody. They gave it to Rodri, he deserved it too, but they should have given it to Vinícius because he won the Champions League and scored in the final.”
Vinícius Júnior had an outstanding season with Real Madrid, scoring 24 goals in 39 matches and playing a pivotal role in securing both the LaLiga and Champions League titles. He even found the net in the Champions League final against Borussia Dortmund.
In contrast, Rodri was instrumental in Manchester City’s success, leading them to a fourth consecutive Premier League title and inspiring Spain’s Euro 2024 victory.
The Ballon d’Or, awarded by France Football magazine since 1956, is determined by votes from journalists representing the top 100 FIFA-ranked countries.
