The 2024 Ballon d'Or , the award given by France Football to the best footballer of the year, is being presented today .

And if the big favorite seemed to be Vinicius , Real Madrid striker, the one in pole position for the victory could instead be Rodri, Spanish midfielder for Guardiola's Manchester City. A rumor that Real Madrid did not like to the point that the delegation leaving for Paris cancelled their participation in the event .

The award ceremony will begin at 8.45pm (live on DAZN, also free-to-air, from 6.45pm) but the French magazine will begin to reveal the rankings from 5pm on its social channels.

Five Serie A players are among the magic 30 : Lookman, Lautaro Martinez, Calhanoglu, Dovbyk and Hummels.

Also on the program are the Kopa Award for the best young player, the Jascin Award for the best goalkeeper and the award for the best coach, both for men and women.
