The 2024 Ballon d'Or , the award given by France Football to the best footballer of the year, is being presented today .
And if the big favorite seemed to be Vinicius , Real Madrid striker, the one in pole position for the victory could instead be Rodri, Spanish midfielder for Guardiola's Manchester City. A rumor that Real Madrid did not like to the point that the delegation leaving for Paris cancelled their participation in the event .
The award ceremony will begin at 8.45pm (live on DAZN, also free-to-air, from 6.45pm) but the French magazine will begin to reveal the rankings from 5pm on its social channels.
Five Serie A players are among the magic 30 : Lookman, Lautaro Martinez, Calhanoglu, Dovbyk and Hummels.
