Questions are growing about Rodri’s Ballon d’Or win.
Many believe that Vinícius Júnior should have received the award instead.
Details: After the top 30 Ballon d’Or nominees were announced, it was noted that Rodri, last year’s winner, is the first player to win the award and then not even make the top 30 contenders the next year.
Previously, many media outlets suggested that Rodri’s victory last year was controversial, as Vinícius Júnior, the main favorite for the award, ended up in 16th place this season.
Rodri had a challenging season due to a cruciate ligament injury and could only play 8 times for Manchester City last year.
His current contract with the club extends until 2027, and Transfermarkt estimates his value at €110 million.
Reminder: Official! Gianluigi Donnarumma is the best goalkeeper of the 2024/25 season
