Who is the favorite for the 2024 Ballon d'Or
A total of 30 football players were included in the final list of nominees, but Vinicius Junior from Real Madrid and Rodri from Manchester City are considered the favorites. The Brazilian won La Liga with the cream and became the star of the Champions League final, and the Spaniard won the Premier League with the townspeople and became the European champion as part of the national team.
But back in late September, the Spanish newspaper Marca intrigued the question of who would receive the Ballon d'Or. Journalists, citing sources, reported that the award will go to Brazilian Vinicius.
Recall that for the first time in 18 years, Ukrainian Artem Dovbyk was included in the list of nominees for the Golden Ball award. In 2006, Andriy Shevchenko was nominated for the award, and two years earlier he became the winner of the Golden Ball.
Also nominated for the best goalkeeper award is the goalkeeper of the Ukrainian national team and Real Madrid Andriy Lunin. In addition to him, nine other goalkeepers were also nominated for this award.
