Rodri Advocates for Ballon d'Or Win for Spain Following Euro 2024 Triumph

Posted : 15 July 2024

Rodri, player of the tournament for Euro 2024 champions Spain, expressed his belief that one of their players deserves to win the Ballon d'Or following their 2-1 victory over England. Despite the dominance of Spanish league players in the prestigious award, no Spaniard has won since Luis Suarez in 1960, even during Spain's "golden generation" that clinched the 2010 World Cup and the Euros in 2008 and 2012.

 

While England showcased star players like Jude Bellingham and Harry Kane, it was Spain's talent that shone brightly in Berlin. Young player of the tournament Lamine Yamal, just 17 years old, assisted Nico Williams for the opening goal shortly after halftime. Although England's Cole Palmer equalized in the 73rd minute, Mikel Oyarzabal's late winner in the 86th minute secured Spain's fourth European title.

 

Spain not only achieved a perfect tournament by winning all seven matches but also scored a remarkable 15 goals, the highest tally in Euro history. After the final, Rodri stated, "Spanish football deserves a Ballon d'Or winner," and expressed his desire for a Spaniard to take home the award. While acknowledging other deserving candidates like Real Madrid's Dani Carvajal, he emphasized his pride in his contributions and the recognition he's receiving, leaving the final decision to others.
