Manchester City’s Rodri is the 2024 men’s Ballon d’Or winner after a phenomenal season.

The midfielder has won trophies for club and country this year. He and Manchester City won their fourth consecutive Premier League in May before Rodri helped lead Spain to victory at Euro 2024.

Although it was a special night for Rodri, it was frustrating for Real Madrid’s Vinícius Júnior, who was arguably Rodri’s biggest challenger for the coveted prize. After the snub, Vinícius’ fans and teammates expressed their support for the star.
