Real Madrid had an exceptional 2023/2024 season, with a La Liga and Champions League title in particular. Unsurprisingly, it is therefore a Madrilenian who should lift the Ballon d’Or at the ceremony on October 28 to be held at the Théâtre du Châtelet in Paris. Vinicius Junior and Jude Bellingham are the big favorites and everything indicates that it will indeed be between the Brazilian and the Englishman.

It must be said that the Merengues have managed to place 7 players in this list of 30 nominees: Vinicius Junior, Jude Bellingham, Toni Kroos, Dani Carvajal, Fede Valverde, Antonio Rüdiger and Kylian Mbappé, who was not part of the squad last season. And some believe that Rodrygo Goes is missing, for example. The management of the White House has a sacred dream as the daily newspaper indicates AS

A 3/3?

Real Madrid hopes to complete a 100% Madrid podium, and for Merengues players to occupy the first three positions. It is extremely rare for three players from the same club to finish in the first three places, and Real Madrid dreams of making history this year. But the Madrid leaders also know that it will be very difficult, because if Vinicius Jr and Jude Bellingham should be on the podium, there is an “enemy”: Rodrigo, the Manchester City midfielder, imperial with Spain at the Euro and favorite to be third if not higher.

Dani Carvajal could however upset the odds and finish ahead of his compatriot, who is coming off an excellent season and won the Champions League unlike Cityzen. The Merengue staff believes that Toni Kroos could also have a chance of finishing on the podium. A sort of reward for his brilliant career as well. See you at the end of October…
