Rodri Shares Heartwarming Reactions from Friends After Win
Manchester City midfielder Rodri has sparked a wave of enthusiasm and support among his friends and fans after being named the 2024 Ballon d’Or winner. The coveted prize was awarded to Rodri at the Theatre du Chatelet in Paris, ahead of Real Madrid’s Vinicius Junior, who finished in second place.
The news has sparked debate and controversy on social media, with many fans questioning the decision and feeling that Vinicius deserved the recognition. It’s worth noting that prior to the ceremony, reports suggested that Vinicius wouldn’t be receiving the award, leading Real Madrid to boycott the event.
In the wake of his win, Rodri shared his friends’ reactions, saying, “I’ve received messages from many of my friends telling me, ‘Today, football has won!’ Their support means the world to me.”
The 28-year-old midfielder’s victory was in recognition of his outstanding performances last season, which included securing the 2024 Euro, UEFA Super Cup, and Premier League titles for Manchester City.
Meanwhile, Real Madrid’s Eduardo Camavinga has expressed his concerns regarding the Ballon d’Or organizers, insinuating that external factors may have influenced the outcome. He believes that Vinicius is an exceptional talent and that no award can fully capture his brilliance.
Camavinga took to social media to voice his concerns, sharing a heartfelt message of support for Vinicius. “FOOTBALL POLITICS. You are the best player in the world, and no award can say otherwise. Love you, my bro,” he wrote alongside a picture of Vinicius.
