After the 2024 Ballon d’Or ceremony, which saw Rodri snatch victory from the heavy favorite Vinicius at the last minute, several pundits have expressed their opinion on the final ranking determined by the journalists’ vote.
In the latest episode of Dressing Room Chronicles, for example, Riccardo Trevisani agreed with the decision to award the Spanish midfielder’s season. The same journalist also agreed with the seventh place assigned to Lautaro Martinez for the season he had with the Inter and the Argentinian National Team.
This is the very straight forward opinion of Trevisani: What do I think of Lautaro in seventh place? That’s what it is, it’s as correct as Rodri in first place. There was a kind of ridiculous election campaign, there was no chance. Beyond the colorful statement I made a while back, the World Cup has left a mark at some level. Lautaro topped the scorers list in the Copa America, but what about in the Champions League? There are levels and they have also been seen in Inter-Juve.
