Present at the 2024 Globe Awards, Cristiano Ronaldo has once again made headlines, this time by openly criticizing the choice to award the 2024 Ballon d’Or to Rodri, preferring to see the Brazilian Vinicius Junior rewarded.

« Vinicius had to win the Ballon d’Or, it was unfair in my opinion “, said the Al-Nassr striker. He highlighted Vinicius’ breakthrough performances, including his key role in the Champions League victory and his goal in the final, believing that should have been enough to earn him the prestigious trophy.

Although he acknowledged Rodri’s merit, Ronaldo pointed to a certain repetition in the award criteria. “ These galas always do the same thing. This is why I like the Globe Soccer Awards, they are honest “, he said, praising the integrity of the event in which he participated.

After his critical comments on Ligue 1, this new declaration from CR7 will not fail to relaunch the debate around the criteria for awarding the Ballon d’Or.
