FOOTBALL – The names of the winners will be revealed on October 28 at the Théâtre du Châtelet in Paris
It’s the beginning of a new era. Now that Leo Messi is no longer among the candidates for the Ballon d’Or, there are many candidates to succeed him. 30 to be precise. Whoever wins the most prestigious individual trophy, this will be their first victory in the matter. Indeed, the last four winners (Lionel Messi, Karim Benzema, Cristiano Ronaldo and Luka Modric) are not on the list of nominees. Revealed on Wednesday evening, the finalists are in the running until October 28 (in reality, voting stops several days before), when the winner will be announced by France Football and UEFA, at the Théâtre du Châtelet.
The favorites for the 2024 men’s Ballon d’Or
Even if the Madrilenians Vinicius Junior and Jude Bellingham, winners of the 15th Champions League of Real Madrid and La Liga, are favorites, some outsiders can pull out all the stops. Especially since their selections did not win anything last season (quarter-final of the Copa América for Brazil and final of the Euro for the English). Finalist of the Champions League, champion of England and winner of the Euro, Rodri can create a surprise. On the French side, only Mbappé and Saliba are in the running. Only one player from Ligue 1, Vitinha, is currently in our championship. 6 play for Real Madrid and 4 for Manchester City. Note(…) - 20minutes
