Rodrigo Hernández Cascante, popularly known as Rodri has emerged the winner of this year’s Ballon d’Or award.
The Manchester City midfielder beat the Real Madrid trio of Jude Bellingham, Vinicius Junior and Dani Carvajal.
The Spanish international becomes the second Premier League Player to win the coveted award in 16 years since Cristiano Ronaldo won it in 2008.
It was a trophy-laden season for Rodri, lifting the Premier League, the UEFA Super Cup and the FIFA Club World Cup with City, as well as Euro 2024 with Spain.
Since Luka Modric won the award in 2018, Rodri is the first midfielder to win it. Lionel Messi has won three of the prizes since then, with Karim Benzema winning one. – CAHNNELS TV
