Reversing many previous predictions, Rodri was the overall winner, surpassing Vinicius Junior.<\/p>\n<p>That immediately led to a boycott from all members of Real Madrid , from players, coaches to president Florentino Perez.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter lazy loaded\" src=\"https:\/\/pbs.twimg.com\/media\/FRmqq-7WUAA0MoZ.jpg:large\" alt=\"ESPN FC on X: &quot;\ud83c\uddeb\ud83c\uddf7 Karim Benzema - 42 goals &amp; 13 assists \ud83c\udde7\ud83c\uddf7 Vinicius Jr.  - 18 goals &amp; 14 assists One of the best attacking duos in world football  this season \ud83d\udc4f https:\/\/t.co\/sq4ZPnNs51&quot; \/ X\" data-src=\"https:\/\/pbs.twimg.com\/media\/FRmqq-7WUAA0MoZ.jpg:large\" data-was-processed=\"true\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Coach Carlo Ancelotti, stars such as Eduardo Camavinga, Aurelien Tchouameni and Eder Militao have all spoken out in support of Vinicius .

The French striker played brilliantly on Real Madrid\u2019s journey to winning the Champions League and La Liga.<\/p>\n<p>Benzema left the club last summer after 14 years of winning trophies. Football 365 quoted Benzema\u2019s statement on the Ballon d\u2019Or voting results:<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter lazy loaded\" src=\"https:\/\/pbs.twimg.com\/media\/GbI7Vk5XMAEAcm_?format=jpg&amp;name=900x900\" alt=\"Image\" data-src=\"https:\/\/pbs.twimg.com\/media\/GbI7Vk5XMAEAcm_?format=jpg&amp;name=900x900\" data-was-processed=\"true\" \/><\/p>\n<p>\u201cI spoke to Vinicius, he was sad\u2026 It\u2019s normal.\u00a0He deserved the Ballon d\u2019Or.\u00a0Of course, I have nothing against Rodri. He\u2019s a great player. But the truth is that Rodri doesn\u2019t make me go \u2018wow\u2019 every time I see him play.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Despite the questions and doubts; Rodri affirmed his talent for both\u00a0Manchester City\u00a0and the Spanish national team. The 28-year-old midfielder shone on the team\u2019s journey to the Premier League championship last season.<\/p>\n<p>At the national team level,\u00a0Rodri\u00a0played impressively when Spain won EURO 2024. Currently, the 28-year-old midfielder will miss the rest of the season due to injury. After 9 rounds of\u00a0the Premier League\u00a0this season, Man City occupies the top position\u00a0in the rankings\u00a0.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Striker Karim Benzema gives his opinion on the results of the Ballon d\u2019Or award vote.
