The Ballon d'Or ceremony is scheduled for October 28, but today it has already become known who will win it.
For months there has been speculation about who could receive the prestigious award for the best football player in the world. When the 30 nominations were announced, it became clear that it would not be Lionel Messi or Cristiano Ronaldo, who are nearing the end of their careers and have – in colloquial terms – played their part.
But there was a dilemma about who the winner would be among a few Real players who had a dream season, but also some players from Manchester City like Erling Haaland or Rodri.
Rodri was well-positioned because, in addition to the Premier League, he also won the European Championship with Spain, yet the most chances are still given to the Real stars who won La Liga and the Champions League, with Dani Carvajal even winning the Euro.
And Kylian Mbappe, the former PSG player who now wears Real's jersey, is also in the shortlist. However, today news leaked that the award was won by Vinicius Junior.
