According to French media, Argentine striker Lautaro Martinez is one of four potential candidates for the 2024 Ballon d’Or award.
EURO 2024 and Copa America 2024 concluded after two finals on July 15. Spain was not considered the number 1 candidate for the championship before EURO 2024 started, but won the overall championship.
Meanwhile, as expected, Argentina successfully defended the Copa America championship.
After EURO 2024 and Copa America 2024, one of the events that football fans are most interested in at this time is who can win the 2024 Ballon d’Or.
According to L’Equipe (France), despite failing at Copa America 2024 and EURO 2024, Vinicius and Jude Bellingham are still two strong candidates for this noble individual award.
Vinicius and Jude Bellingham are in the top of the 2024 Ballon d’Or race thanks to their brilliant performances at Real Madrid in the 2023/24 season.
Last season, Vinicius scored 24 goals and had 11 assists, while Bellingham scored 23 goals and had 13 assists, contributing greatly to helping Los Blancos win the Spanish Super Cup, La Liga and Champions League.
According to L’Equipe , the two biggest rivals in the race for the Ballon d’Or with the Real Madrid duo are Rodri and Lautaro Martinez. Not only shining at Man City and Inter Milan in the 2023/24 season, Rodri and Lautaro Martinez also achieved success at EURO 2024 and Copa America 2024.
At EURO 2024, Rodri shone and contributed greatly to Spain’s championship, thereby winning the title of Best Player. Meanwhile, Lautaro Martinez scored 5 goals at Copa America 2024, contributing significantly to Argentina’s championship and winning the title of Top Scorer.
Thanks to their success at EURO 2024 and Copa America 2024, Rodri and Lautaro Martinez are in the top 4 candidates for the Golden Ball, but it will not be easy to win the match with Vinicius and Bellingham.
According to Marca , President Perez has launched a campaign to help Vinicius win the Ballon d’Or. Mr. Perez believes that, regardless of the results at Copa America 2024 and EURO 2024, one of Real’s stars will win the individual title of France Football magazine in 2024.
