Ballon d’Or: It’s clear – Carlo Ancelotti on player to win award next

Real Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti has confidently expressed that Vinicius Jr. is set to win the upcoming Ballon d’Or.

The 2024 Ballon d’Or winner will be revealed on Monday in France, with Vinicius competing against top talents like Rodri, Jude Bellingham, Kylian Mbappe, and Dani Carvajal.

In his pre-match press conference on Friday, ahead of Real Madrid’s El Clasico clash with Barcelona, Ancelotti emphasized his certainty, stating there’s no doubt Vinicius will claim this year’s Ballon d’Or.

“We can say that Vini will be the next Ballon d’Or, no doubt,” Ancelotti said via Fabrizio Romano. “Vinicius will win the Ballon d’Or. For me, it’s very clear, and there can’t be anyone else winning it.”

Lionel Messi won the previous Ballon d’Or, beating Erling Haaland to the prize.
