Rodri Wins Ballon d'Or

Manchester City's Rodri recently made history as the first Spanish footballer since 1960 to win the prestigious Ballon d'Or, recognizing his exceptional season for both club and country.

Rodri’s Ballon d'Or win marks the first for a Premier League player since Cristiano Ronaldo in 2008 during his time at Manchester United.
The 28-year-old midfielder was crucial in helping Manchester City secure their fourth consecutive Premier League title last season.
Rodri also played a pivotal role in Spain's success at the 2024 European Championship, where they defeated England 2-1 in the final, earning him the Player of the Tournament title.
Known for his defensive prowess, Rodri contributed 14 assists across all competitions, demonstrating his playmaking skills as well as his reliability in midfield.
Rodri's win highlights his influence as a playmaker and defensive anchor, qualities that have brought Manchester City consistent success despite lacking the goal-scoring flair of past winners.
