Who is the number one candidate for the 2024 Ballon d'Or?

The 2024 Men's Ballon d'Or is naturally the most anticipated award. Among the 30 players nominated for the 2024 Ballon d'Or, Vinicius Jr (Real Madrid) and Rodri (Man City) are the two strongest contenders.

The 2024 Ballon d'Or is a race between Rodri and Vinicius Jr.

Vinicius Jr. was the main striker who helped Los Blancos win the Champions League and La Liga. Rodri, on the other hand, won the Premier League, scoring 9 goals while playing as a defensive midfielder. At EURO 2024, Rodri played a crucial role in Spain's victory. Although he missed half of the final, Rodri's importance to the "Bulls" cannot be denied.

Jude Bellingham is also a notable name, likely to be in the top 3. The English midfielder was the best player in the world in the first half of the 2023-24 season. Although his form has somewhat declined since February 2024, Bellingham still played a crucial role in Real Madrid's success, before helping England reach the EURO final.
