another scandal revealed, fans are outraged!
Two days after the 2024 Ballon d'Or award ceremony, which took place Monday evening in Paris, debates continue to intensify around the final ranking.
While many observers expected Vinicius Jr. to win, it was ultimately Rodri who was crowned. This decision angered Real Madrid, who decided to boycott the event at the last moment to protest against the absence of their Brazilian striker among those awarded.
In addition to Rodri, the top 10 of this 68th edition is completed by Jude Bellingham, Dani Carvajal, Erling Haaland, Kylian Mbappé, Lautaro Martinez, Lamine Yamal, Toni Kroos and Harry Kane, marking the end of an era.
For the first time since 2003, neither Cristiano Ronaldo nor Lionel Messi are among the thirty finalists. A fact that Bruce Grannec, four-time world champion in FIFA and PES video games, considers to be an injustice. According to him, despite his 37 years and his presence at Inter Miami, the Argentinian remains superior to all the players competing this year.
On Twitch, Grannec expressed his opinion bluntly: “Frankly, Messi should be in the top 10 for the Ballon d'Or every year. He's even better than all the players present, and I'm not kidding! You may say that I'm not objective, but that's really what I think. Play a World Cup again, and you will see: he would still be the best player! » Author of 20 goals and 18 assists in 20 matches this season in MLS, could Lionel Messi make his return among the candidates for the Ballon d'Or in 2025? With Messi, nothing is impossible.
