And yes, they play in the same club.
They got dressed in their 29e and on their 30e. The last two of the 2024 Ballon d’or are known. Mats Hummels and Artem Dovbik have the immense privilege of being 29e et 30e. No jealousy: no journalist representing a country in the top 100 of the FIFA rankings has decided who is better between the German defender and the Ukrainian striker. Fortunately for the former Borussia Dortmund man, the votes took place before this weekend. During Roma’s heavy defeat this weekend against Fiorentina (1-5), Mats Hummels achieved the feat of scoring against his side… four short minutes after coming on. And he was playing his first minutes with Roma!
The two new teammates, stuck in eleventh place in the Serie A rankings, have a little relief in their hearts: they can always say that they are the last of the best players in the world for the year 2024.
Flop 10 in full:
29. Artem Dovbik

They remain better than Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi, there is no question.
