Ballon d’Or 2024: Rodri credits consistency for win over Vinicius

Manchester City midfielder Rodri has attributed his 2024 Ballon d’Or title to his consistent performances throughout the season.

The Spanish international secured the prestigious award over Real Madrid’s Vinicius Junior, who many had anticipated would take the title.

In an interview with COPE, Rodri highlighted the significance of consistency, describing it as the most challenging aspect of football.

“I won the Ballon d’Or because of consistency, which is the most difficult thing in football,” Rodri said.

“I was the most consistent player in the season.”

Rodri’s season included a Premier League title with Manchester City and a European Championship victory with Spain.
