Manchester City midfielder Rodrigo Cascante (Rodri) made history, claiming the 2024 Ballon d’Or award in an unexpected upset over Real Madrid’s Vinicius Junior.

Despite arriving in Paris on crutches due to injury, Rodri emerged victorious, defying earlier predictions.

He becomes the first midfielder to win since Luka Modric in 2018, credited to his exceptional defensive skills, composure, and ability to control the game’s rhythm.

Rodri’s achievements include a Premier League title and European Championship victory with Spain.

Reports from Spain hinted at his win hours before, leading Vinicius and other Real Madrid nominees to boycott the ceremony.

Rodri’s triumph solidifies his status as a pivotal player on the world stage.
