Two weeks after winning the most prestigious award in soccer, Rodri shared which players would have received his votes for the 2024 Ballon d'Or.
In a somewhat controversial decision, Rodri beat out Vinícius Júnior to become Manchester City's first Ballon d'Or winner in history. The midfielder earned 41 more votes than the Real Madrid winger, making him just the third player since 2008 to take home the award not named Cristiano Ronaldo or Lionel Messi.
As Rodri continues to recover from a season-ending ACL injury, the 28-year-old spoke about with COPE radio about his Ballon d'Or win and revealed his personal finalists for this year's award.
"I love that people vote what they feel. It's someone's opinion," Rodri said. "I respect Vinícius hugely, and Real Madrid, and anyone who knows me knows it. I'd vote for Carvajal, and Vinícius too. Maybe Carvajal second."
