2024 Ballon d'Or scores announced: Rodri narrowly wins over Vinicius

(Dan Tri) - France Football magazine has announced the specific scores in the 2024 Golden Ball race. In which, Rodri finished first with 41 points more than Vinicius.

The 2024 Ballon d'Or has created a lot of controversy. According to many leaked sources, Vinicius was the winner of this prestigious award. However, at the last minute, Rodri was the one named for this award.

That made Vinicius and the Real Madrid members angry. They decided not to attend the Golden Ball award ceremony in protest. Many people also felt curious that France Football did not announce the specific votes of each player.

It was not until yesterday that France Football publicly announced the scores of each player. Accordingly, Rodri won a total of 1,170 points, 41 points higher than Vinicius's 1,129 points. Third place in this award was Jude Bellingham with 917 points.

Notably, Vinicius received quite a few "confusing" votes. Three journalists from Finland, Namibia and El Salvador did not give a single point to the Brazilian player. If he had received the votes of these journalists, Vinicius could have completely surpassed Rodri.

According to France Football's rules, journalists from countries with teams in the world's top 100 will participate in the vote. The player ranked first receives 15 points, followed by 12, 10, 8, 7, 5, 4, 3, 2 and 1 points for positions 2 to 10.

Other positions in the top 10 are Dani Carvajal (4th, 917 points), Haaland (4th, 432 points), Kylian Mbappe (6th, 420 points), Lautaro Martinez (7th, 402 points), Lamine Yamal (8th, 383 points), Toni Kroos (9th, 291 points), Harry Kane (10th, 201 points).

Meanwhile, in the Kopa Trophi (best player under 21), Lamine Yamal had no rivals with 113 points, surpassing the second-placed Arda Guler (26 points).

This is a well-deserved title for Lamine Yamal after an impressive season with Barcelona and the Spanish national team. In particular, he made a great contribution to helping the Spanish national team win Euro 2024. Lamine Yamal personally won the Best Young Player award of this tournament.
