Former Scotland international Steve Nicol has endorsed Manchester City midfielder Rodri for the 2024 Ballon d’Or, praising his consistent performance.
In an interview with ESPN, Nicol stated, “Rodri [is my choice for the Ballon d’Or]. He’s been terrific for a long time. He probably won’t win it, who puts the goals in is probably going to win it [this year].”
Rodri has had an impressive year, helping Spain win Euro 2024 and securing the Premier League title with Manchester City. Despite Nicol’s backing, Rodri will face tough competition for the prestigious award from players like Jude Bellingham and Vinicius.
