This decision was eagerly awaited, but now everything is clear: Rodri is the winner of the Ballon d’Or this year and was thus named best player of the year.
This is a big surprise, as many previously expected a different winner. During the day on Monday, things suddenly changed. It was previously a foregone conclusion that Vini Jr. was going to win the award, the Spanish media suddenly declared that Real had canceled their trip to France because Rodri was going to win.
The Spaniard won the European Championship and the English Championship with his country. Vini Jr. could boast of the Champions League and the Spanish championship. So it was a very close race due to the respective titles.
This year, the organizer “France (Site notre blog d’information)” managed to keep the winner open until the last moment. The first rumors only leaked a few hours before the event.
