Rodri: Consistency, key to Ballon d’Or triumph

On Wednesday, November 13, 2024, Manchester City and Spain team midfield dynamo Rodri shed light on the reasons behind his unexpected victory in the race for the 2024 Ballon d’Or.

In a revelation that sparked the astonishment of many football fans, Rodri won this prestigious individual honour, beating out the talented Vinicius Junior.

His contribution was vital to Manchester City’s retention of the Premier League title and the Spanish national team’s victory at Euro 2024, where he not only helped his country lift the trophy but also won the title of Best Player of the Tournament – a distinction he considers well deserved.

Interviewed by @partidazocope, Rodri said: “I owe my Ballon d’Or victory to my consistency. In football, maintaining a high level of performance is without a doubt the most difficult skill. I sincerely believe that I have been the player most reliable on the planet this year.”

Unfortunately, the midfield maestro is facing a long spell out due to injury, but he had time to compare Manchester City striker Erling Haaland to legends Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo.

He added: “When it comes to statistical impact, Erling Haaland leads the way. He is the only talisman capable of rivaling the greatness of Leo Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo in terms of numbers.”
