The Ballon d’Or drama continues to keep the footballing world and its fans on edge, as new footage surfaced showcasing the 2024 Ballon d’Or winner Rodri indulging in chants of ‘Bella Ciao’ directed at Real Madrid’s Vinicius Jr who lost out on the grand prize.
After what can only be termed as a whirlwind of a build-up to the grand event, it was finally Spain and Manchester City midfielder Rodri who took home the coveted Golden Ball, beating out Real Madrid superstars Vinicius Jr at second and Jude Bellingham at third.
Rodri, 28, was and continues to be a pivotal cog in Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City, with whom the Spaniard clinched a fourth-successive Premier League.
The No.6, who has arguably proven himself to be the best in his role, also was the engine behind Spain’s glorious EURO 2024 campaign, which saw them clinch the coveted title yet again after 2012. Rodri also claimed the Player of the Tournament at EURO 2024 to add to his personal accomplishments along the process.
