Rodri (Manchester City), who was considered the best player in the 2023-2024 season, was found to have a slight lead over Vinicius Junior (Real Madrid).
French media France Football released detailed Ballon d’Or votes on the 9th (Korea time).
Ninety-nine judges participated in the men’s Ballon d’Or, and 10 players were selected for each panel. The first place received 15 points, the second place received 12 points, the third place received 10 points, the fourth place received eight points, the fifth place received seven points, the sixth place received five points, the seventh place received four points, the eighth place received three points, the ninth place received two points, and the tenth place received one point. By adding up these points, Rodri was chosen as the final No. 1.
The difference between Rodri and Vinicius was only 41 points. Rodri received 1,170, and Vinicius received 1,129. Considering that the top vote-getter has 15 points, it is a very narrow margin.
Except for Rodri and Vinicius, seven players received the top vote. Jude Bellingham received five votes, Dani Carvajal received four, and Toni Kroos (Real Madrid) received two votes. It can be interpreted that Vinicius did not reach the top of the Ballon d’Or as they shared the top vote. 스포츠토토

Meanwhile, third-place Bellingham received 917 points, while fourth-place Carvajal received 550. Fifth-place Holland had 432 points, and sixth-place Mbappe had 420.
