Manchester City and Spain midfielder, Rodri, has been awarded the men’s Ballon d’Or after securing a fourth consecutive Premier League title and winning Euro 2024.
The Ballon d’Or ceremony took place at the Châtelet Theatre in Paris on Monday.
A few hours to the event, Real Madrid announced that its delegation would not attend the ceremony, saying it perceived disrespect towards its Champions League double-winner Vinicius.
Meanwhile, Barcelona and Spain star Aitana Bonmati won her second consecutive women’s Ballon d’Or, after leading her club to secure the Nations League with Spain.
