Exciting Developments in the Ballon d’Or Race
In the women’s category, Aitana BonmatĂ is poised to secure her second consecutive Ballon d’Or title. During an exclusive interview with Euronews, Aitana expressed her feelings about the nomination, stating that being recognized once again this year is “a source of immense pride” for her.
Meanwhile, the men’s category has sparked controversy and speculation as the shortlist notably excludes Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo for the first time since 2003. This unprecedented shift opens the door for new talents to emerge as potential winners. Candidates like VinĂcius JĂşnior, Rodri, and Jude Bellingham are now in contention to carry the torch forward and potentially succeed Messi as the recipient of the prestigious 2024 award.
