As a reminder, 99 jurors from the top 100 FIFA countries for men (only Syria did not vote) and 49 jurors from the top 50 FIFA countries for women (without Costa Rica) gave their top 10 (15 points for the 1st, then 12, 10, 8, 7, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 pt).
Other statistics are striking: five jurors chose not to include Rodri in their top 10. Three people did the same for Vinicius JR.
“The celebration of Spanish football”, “conductor”, “of a different kind”: the international press (almost) unanimous on Rodri’s coronation
Except for Rodri and Vinicius JR, five other players were voted for first place by at least one juror: Jude Bellingham (first 5 places), Dani Carvajal (4) and Toni Kroos (2). Kylian Mbappé, Erling Haaland, Lautaro Martinez and… Ademola Lookman.
Also proof that this trophy is undecided for everyone, no one in the jury managed to find the final top 10. On the other hand, there are seven of them who have the first four in order (Rodri, Vinicius Jr., Bellingham, Carvajal): England, Australia, the United States, Northern Ireland, Iceland, Norway and Slovakia.
Reminder of the winners:
Men's Ballon d'Or for Rodri, Women's Ballon d'Or for Aitana Bonmati but also Kopa Trophy (Lamine Yamal), Yachine Trophy (Emiliano Martinez) and Johan Cruyff Trophies (Carlo Ancelotti and Emma Hayes).
