After Rodri's standout performance at Euro 2024, the Spanish football community is rallying behind the idea of a Spanish player winning the prestigious Ballon d'Or once again. The Manchester City midfielder's call for recognition for his compatriots comes after a long drought since Luis Suárez's win in 1960.
During Spain's victorious campaign in Germany, Rodri showcased his skills on the field, starting in six out of seven matches and maintaining an impressive passing accuracy of 92.84%. His coach, Luis de la Fuente, went as far as to declare Rodri as the best player in the world and urged for his immediate recognition with the Ballon d'Or.
