Rodri Clinches Men’s Ballon d’Or 2024

Rodri, the talented midfielder for both Manchester City and the Spanish national team, has been honored with the Men’s Ballon d’Or for the year 2024. His pivotal performances were instrumental in leading Manchester City to a Premier League title and playing a key role in Spain’s triumph at Euro 2024.

In a surprising turn of events, Real Madrid chose to boycott the award ceremony. The club expressed their discontentment with the decision to overlook their star player, Vinicius Junior, who had a standout season contributing significantly to Real Madrid’s successes in both the Liga and the Champions League. The announcement of their non-attendance was made just a few hours before the ceremony was set to commence in Paris.
