Manchester City Challenges Real Madrid: “Don’t Go to Ballon d’Or, Rodri Is Already a Winner”
Ahead of the 2024 Ballon d’Or award ceremony, a “hot” situation occurred when Manchester City bluntly announced that Real Madrid did not need to attend the ceremony. According to sources within the foggy country team, Man City conveyed a challenging message that Spanish midfielder Rodri would be the winner, surprising fans and experts.
Rodri and the Journey to the Top
Rodri has had a brilliant season for Manchester City, helping the team achieve many outstanding achievements, including a historic treble. He is the heart of Pep Guardiola’s style of play, and his contributions on the pitch are considered irreplaceable. With strong defensive ability, accurate passing ability and intelligent control of the game, Rodri has proven himself to be one of the best central midfielders in the world today.
In particular, with his excellent performance in the Champions League final against Inter Milan, he scored the only goal to help Man City win the championship. That historic moment helped Rodri become a strong candidate for this year’s Golden Ball award, on par with other bright stars such as Erling Haaland, Lionel Messi and even Jude Bellingham of Real Madrid.
War Declaration Message From Man City
According to reports, Man City’s board of directors is confident that with his outstanding achievements and undeniable performances, Rodri will be the owner of the 2024 Ballon d’Or. Therefore, they have sent a clear message to Real Madrid that their representatives do not need to attend the award ceremony. This is a strong statement, affirming absolute confidence in Rodri.
This message has caused a lot of controversy among experts and fans. Some people think that this is a provocative move from Man City to demoralize their opponents. Meanwhile, others see it as a pride for the team to have such an excellent player who can confidently “declare war” with candidates from Real Madrid, especially Jude Bellingham – a player who has played very impressively since joining Real.
How Will Real Madrid React?
Real Madrid have yet to officially respond to Man City’s message, but the silence could be a sign of an “underground war” between two of Europe’s top clubs. Jude Bellingham, who is also a potential Ballon d’Or candidate, has been in excellent form since the start of the season, scoring decisive goals and dominating the midfield.
Manchester City’s bold statement that Real Madrid do not need to attend the awards ceremony also shows their strong belief in Rodri’s strength and talent. This also raises a big question for global football fans: can Rodri really surpass the big names to win the Ballon d’Or this year?
Ballon d’Or 2024: Waiting for the Suspenseful Ending
The Ballon d’Or award ceremony is always the most anticipated event of the year in the football world, where the brightest stars of world football gather. With the appearance of famous names such as Messi, Haaland, Bellingham and Rodri, fans will witness fierce competition. Manchester City’s move not only heated up the atmosphere of the ceremony but also created great pressure on competitors.
Rodri is on the verge of becoming the first Spaniard to win the Ballon d’Or since the legendary Luis Suárez in 1960. Will Man City’s confident declaration come true, or will Real Madrid spring a surprise? Let’s wait and see what happens next in this prestigious race
