Cristiano Ronaldo is the latest to speak out on Rodri's 2024 Ballon d'Or triumph
The main idea of the text is that Cristiano Ronaldo's continued insistence that Vinicius Junior deserved the 2024 Ballon d'Or instead of Rodri demonstrates a disrespect for Rodri's achievements and the recognition of his exceptional talent.
The author argues that Rodri's win was well-deserved, given his instrumental role in Manchester City's and Spain's successes, while Vinicius Junior's domestic performance was less impactful. Comparing City's dignified response to Haaland's 2023 Ballon d'Or loss to Messi's reinforces the view that Ronaldo's public remarks are unnecessarily disparaging towards Rodri, a rare and world-class defensive midfielder.
