Manchester City midfielder Rodri has given an honest verdict about the battle to win the 2024 Ballon d’Or.
The Spain international admitted that people are trying to push him to win the Ballon d’Or this year, adding that he doesn’t think about winning the prestigious individual prize.
Rodri was among the 30-man players that was recently shortlisted for the Ballon d’Or.
Speaking to the media ahead of Manchester City’s Champions League tie with Inter Milan on Wednesday, Rodri said (via the BBC): “I’m very, very happy for everything that happened to me in the last years. Winning what Manchester City won and winning the Euros with my country is just a dream. It’s a consequence of hard work, consistency and never giving up.
“I really feel right now that people are recognising my work and trying to push me to win the Ballon d’Or. It’s not something I think about, to be honest.”
