Unlike some of his FC Barcelona teammates, Pau Cubarsi has a slightly more different opinion on the 2024 Ballon d'Or.
On October 28, Rodri was crowned Ballon d'Or 2024 in front of Vinicius Junior at the Théâtre du Châtelet in Paris. A ceremony that Real Madrid and its employers missed, highlighting a lack of respect towards the club since France Football had indicated that no one was aware of who would be crowned when the winner had already been informed earlier.
Vinicius deserves to win just like Rodri, says Cubarsi
While Vinicius Junior was considered the potential winner of the Ballon d'Or, the player was surprised on Monday afternoon, a few hours before the official ceremony, that he would not be the lucky one; Rodri will have been chosen. This irritated Real Madrid, who did not hesitate to cancel their trip to Paris. Since then, there has been war between the White House, UEFA and France Football. Like Karim Benzema and many other footballers, who believe that Vinicius deserves the coronation, Pau Cubarsi, player of FC Barcelona, Real Madrid's great rival, believes that the Brazilian deserves to win just like the midfielder of Manchester City.

The young central defender of Culés is not surprised that it was Rodri who was crowned, since the statistics were very close between the two competitors. “I wasn't surprised that Vinícius didn't win, he was very balanced with Rodri”said Pau Cubarsí in an interview with RAC1. “Being in the top 10 or top 20 of the Ballon d’Or is already a good prize and it is important for a footballer to be there”he continued, emphasizing that “Dani Olmo and I left without winning it”.
