Football fans have voted for the top five players they believe will win the coveted Ballon d'Or in 2024 as excitement for the event rises.


With 6.6% of the global vote, Rodry, the midfield maestro for Manchester City, came in fourth place among them. He deserves a spot on the list for his incredible efforts from the previous campaign, which helped lead City to the Premier League title and Spain to European success.


Vinicius Jr. of Real Madrid, on the other hand, is the overwhelming favorite among supporters, topping the polls with 64.6% of the vote. The Brazilian winger has solidified his position as the front-runner for the coveted trophy after contributing significantly to Real Madrid's victory in the previous campaign.



Lautaro Martinez, a striker for Inter Milan and Argentina, came next with 8.2%. of the vote following a standout domestic and international campaign. Thanks to his amazing achievements for England at the European Championship and his impressive 36 goals scored, English star Jude Bellingham, who currently plays for Real Madrid, ranked third with 8.2% of the vote.


Lamin Yamal, a rising artist from Barcelona who received 4.6% of the vote and has garnered attention from fans, rounds out the top five.


All eyes will be on these remarkable players when the football world waits to discover who will win the ultimate individual trophy, which will be awarded in Paris on October 28.
