He deserves this award 👏 💜

[chinitopogi]

Integral for club and country, Rodri 👏 Congrats Rodri ❤❤❤

It is highly recommended and a MUST for Real Madrid management, board of directors, coaching staff, people working in their club who are involved on the transfer-market to permanently sell who are currently out on loan to play for another football club, do not offer a loan with buy back clause or with a number or percentage rights, recall or return players that are currently on-loan by another football club to play for Real Madrid, ageing ((28) years old and above), inconsistent (due to limited playing time, never have played and always on the bench, poor defensively, not performing well) regardless of age, injury prone, those who are not comfortable playing in different position, that MUST happen on or before July 2029. We are referring to Modric, Vasquez, Daniel Carvajal Ramos "Dani Carvajal", Courtois, Alaba, Rudiger, Mendy, Daniel Ceballos Fernández "Dani Ceballos", Jesús Vallejo Lázaro "Jesus Vallejo", Francisco José García Torres "Fran Garcia", Diaz, Juan Miguel Latasa Fernández "Juanmi Latasa", Reinier Jesus Carvalho "Reinier", & Guler.

Confirmed leaving Real Madrid as some will no longer renew, return to their respective football club that are being loaned out to Real Madrid and a few getting sold permanently with or without a buy back clause on or before September 2024: Rafael Marín Zamora "Rafa Marin", Kroos, José Ignacio Fernández Iglesias "Nacho", José Luis Mato Sanmartín "Joselu", Arrizabalaga & Nicolás "Nico" Paz Martínez.

Once they get sold these are the players should be sign based on their positions on or before July 2027.
Right Back: Jesus Fortea, Josh Acheampong
Left Back: Alphonso Davies, Joskol Gvardiol
Centre Back: William Alain André Gabriel Saliba, Vitor de Oliveira Nunes dos Reis
Centre Defensive Midfielder: Rodrigo "Rodri" Cascante
Centre or Attacking Midfield: Florian Wirtz, Franco Mastantuono

Lastly Real Madrid must never offer a contract to these players for a RIGHT BACK position, that are inconsistent regardless of age, poor defensively, has disadvantage of height and strength (lacks muscles), proven already that unable to stop wingers/strikers in different leagues, injury-prone, has beyond 60 million euro's transfer-market value, and ageing 27 years old and above, and turning 27 years old and above on year 2027. We are referring to Darmian, Walker, Trippier, Di Lorenzo, Cancelo, Kimmich, Dumfries, Calabria, White, Mazraoui, Ryerson, Wan-Bissaka, Molina, Alexander-Arnold, Hakimi, Tomiyasu, Royal, Dalot, Porro, James, Boey, Frimpong, Couto, T, Carvalho Santos, Livramento, Rensch, Terracciano, Gusto, Bradley, Sanchez, Fresneda, Lewis, Gray, & Lima.

Manchester United fans congratulate Rodri, football won after years of baloney balondors.

[Good_Sonny]

When Haaland and Lewandowski robbed of this award to Messi, their respective clubs don't do what Real Madrid did this year.Disrespectful from their side.

[saint_iri]

Unhappy that he's injured? or feeling guilty knowing he's about to win ?

[Mac_Kymera]

"won"... hmm ok. Bunged perhaps after being upset that Haaland didn't win it last time?

[sokuralife]

If I was a Madrid player I would never show up again . Awards like these are meaningless and devides players . It should be scrapped and become a best team award

[BetweenNatural]

And then after this, they lost to my Tottenham 😂
No jokes, congrats to Rodri.

Rodri don't deserve it vini deserve it

[nobrecivil]

I'm sorry for ManCity being inserted into this fight between UEFA and Ral Madrid. Rodri dont deserve it. Rodri wasn't voted best in his team, he wasn't in the top 8 in his league, he wasn't voted best in his national team, he wasn't the best in his position on the pitch, he wasn't even voted best of the month in this season. That was ridiculous, if it wasn't for Vini and it should have been, by the criteria they said Carvajal should win for being the best in his national team, scoring the winning goal in the Euro, and even for having more important titles like the Champions League, surpassing Rodri.

Real Madrid were simply voted the best team in ballon dor because they have Champions League, it was Vini who won the championships for Real, and in the final stretch of La Liga he also carried the load, shutting out rivals.

[Imgettingaword]

Its nice of Sky sports news to interrupt their blanket coverage of our neighbours' latest managerial disaster to cover this minor story.

[Xoman]

It has not "settled down" a bit, it has not settled down at all. You just need to understand the lyrics that Bernabeu supporters addressed to Pep Guardiola when ManCity visited Bernabeu. If you understand what they said, you will understand the hatred that Madrid supporters feel towards Pep Guardiola is very real.

[benkudus]

The pathetic part of the story is how entitled Real Madrid and their delusional fan base feel. I’m yet to see anyone who can make an argument that Rodri didn’t deserve it. All they keep saying is that Vini deserved it, but it doesn’t mean Rodri didn’t. It’s pathetic how self interest can make people look dumb.

[aleksandarnesic]

Besides rigged games and trophies they are now started to rigging ballon d’or
Insane 😂

[johnandre]

How does this overrated player win the Ballon D'or? The award has seriously damaged it's prestige.

[orlyvolcy]

Ballon d'or propriété de FRANCE FOOTBALL vous le décernez à qui bon vous semble....!
Rodri meilleur que VINICIUS😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅

[wekiyajunk]

Player nobody know about get a ballon d'or. I say everything make by France is a Joke. That robot player nobody will buy a ticket to go watch should travel to Madrid to hand over the ballon d'or to Vini. I am certain if he do that he will be more appreciate that keep that ballon in his house. That ballon d'or could bring all kind miserable in his life.

[_AX]

Vini deserved it by miles...These prem fanboys are delusional asf.. Rodri was never nominated for any awards in prem nor in UEFA.. he wasn't even in the convo then boom their prem media started with this stu pid agenda to also get Ballon d'Or in their league.. I'm a Barça fan and i know Vini was the best player last season by miles..This is pure robbery
