Ballon d’Or Favorites
Phil Foden
Foden was the main star in a history-making Manchester City side that became the first to win 4 successive Premier League titles. His 19 goals and 8 assists earned him the Best Player Award.
However, he didn’t score a single goal at the Euro 204 nor he assisted in a goal, which might severely impact his chances in Ballon d’Or ranking despite England’s reaching the Euro 2024 final.
Kylian Mbappe
Harry Kane outscored Mbappé in Euro 2024 as the French footballer’s plan didn’t go as he had expected.

— Real Madrid France 🇫🇷 (@RealMadrid_frr) July 9, 2024
With a nose injury in the opening game limiting his play to only two goal involvement and with France eliminated in the semi-final his Ballon d’Or ranking may see an impact.
Harry Kane
Kane’s move to Munich was expected to bring him more trophies, however, a dominant Bayer Leverkusen side ended up witnessing Bavarians miss out on both domestic titles.
They were also heartbreakingly eliminated by Real Madrid in the Champions League, leaving him only with his numerous goals, the most by anyone in Europe, to bolster his case.
Rodri
The midfield has emerged as the most dependable player. So much so that the everyone was visibly worried of what to do when Rodri was banned for 3 games last year. He contributed 15 goals and 12 assists.

Vinicius Junior
Junior’s exploits with Real Madrid in the knockout stages of the Champions League put him in pole position to win his first major award. He finished the season with 26 goals and 12 assists, winning three trophies along the way.
Jude Bellingham
Bellingham adapted to life in Madrid quickly, racing to the front in the Pichichi race. He only assisted once in the Round of 16 and was substituted in the semi-final and final.
Toni Kroos, Lautaro Martinez, Florian Wirtz, and Lionel Messi will have a say in the vote but are not expected to challenge the aforementioned names.
Although Messi won the Copa America once again with Argentina, however, he failed to light up the tournament, as he only finished the season with only one goal.
