the huge surprise that changes everything!
Later this month, the prestigious 2024 Ballon d'Or will be awarded by France Football. Although many expect to see Vinicius Junior crowned for the first time, this hypothesis is not unanimous. Even within Real Madrid, some have another vision of the ideal winner.
Joselu Mato, Vinicius' former teammate, recently expressed his opinion to the EFE agency, saying that he would prefer to see Dani Carvajal win the award.
Joselu opts for Carvajal
“I would give the Ballon d’Or to Dani Carvajal. Last year he played everything and won the same club titles as Vinicius, who I really like. However, Dani finished the season as the best player in the Champions League final and was a key part of the Euro victory.
“Often credit is given to attacking players who score or provide assists, but Dani proved that a defender can also be decisive. He scored goals, provided assists and was crucial in important matches. It's been a long time since we've seen such a successful defender, with so many titles to his credit. In my opinion, he fully deserves to win the Ballon d'Or this year. »
