BALLON D’OR LIVE – AS IT HAPPENED
The midfield maestro helped City win a record fourth successive Premier League title before being named the Euro 2024 Player of the Tournament as Spain triumphed in Germany.
And it came at the cost of Vinicius Jr who was snubbed which led to Real Madrid BOYCOTTING the ceremony.
But Rodri’s season-ending injury last year ruled him out of defending one of football’s biggest prizes.
This opened the door for teen sensation Lamine Yamal to become the first player to win the award before their 21st birthday after helping Barcelona secure the Spanish treble last campaign.
Or Vitinha who was influential in PSG’s first-ever Champions League triumph along with landing a Nations League title in the Portuguese colours.
However, neither of the two above took home the prestigious award.
