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.
Football legend Paul Merson praises Mikel Arteta on his win this season and shares good luck to him in the Champions League against Paris Saint-Germain.
He praised the manager, saying that Arteta really pushed the club to the best and the win is well deserved.
“Congratulations to Arsenal once again. It is a well-deserved win after 22 years. We can’t wait to see the 30th of May and see if it’s a double win.”
Luis Enrique, manager of Paris Saint-Germain (PSG), praised Arsenal F.C. and called them the best team in the world after their win in the Premier League.
He shared: “I believe they deserve to win the league — they have had an outstanding season.
“We have already faced this Arsenal team, so we are aware of their capabilities.
“Without the ball, they are the best team in the world, and with it, they can score frequently. This creates a remarkable combination for them.”
Nigerian footballer Victor Osimhen spoke about his childhood days and the difficult experiences he faced growing up.
He revealed that his mother was the breadwinner of the family and that her death deeply affected them.
“My mom was the breadwinner of the family, but she and my dad never had issues because of it.”
He shared that when his mother passed away, they not only missed her emotionally but also struggled financially without her support.
Fans related to his story and applauded how he has now risen to greatness.
