One journalist snubbed Vinicius Junior, Rodri and Jude Bellingham when voting for the 2024 Ballon d’Or.
On Monday night, Manchester City and Spain superstar Rodri was awarded the Ballon d’Or trophy after a stellar season for both club and country.
Speaking after clinching the prestigious award, Rodri said: “I try to be the best version of myself every day. I try to be a leader and learn every day from the best. I am a very calm person until I get upset. I am just a normal guy, you don't have to be crazy. I would like to thank God.

“Manchester City, thank you so much, you are so special, I know I wouldn't have made this without you. For me this is the best club in the world. I would like to thank my national team and Luis [de la Fuente] for trusting me.”
In order to pick out a winner for the Ballon d’Or, one journalist from each of FIFA’s top 100 nations is asked to vote.
As reported by AS, some of the votes have now been made public.
