Daily Post Nigeria Ballon d’Or 2024: I deserved it – Rodrygo reveals why organizers snubbed him Home News Politics Metro Entertainment Sport Sport Ballon d’Or 2024: I deserved it – Rodrygo reveals why organizers snubbed him Published on September 9, 2024 By Ifreke Inyang Real Madrid forward, Rodrygo, has claimed he is a victim of his own versatility, after he was excluded from the final 30-man Ballon d’Or shortlist. Rodrygo, however, admitted he was “upset” after being left out of the nominations. The 23-year-old scored 17 goals and provided nine assists for the LaLiga club last term as they won the Champions League and LaLiga.

But it was not enough to see him listed among the best players in the world this year. Rodrygo told ESPN: “I was upset, I think I deserved it. “I don’t want to belittle the players who are there, but I think I had a place in the 30.



It was a surprise...

But there’s not much I can do, I’m not the one who decides these things.” Rodrygo also suggested his versatility may have worked, adding that: “Often, I’m just filling spaces. “Is someone missing there? Put Rodrygo in.

Is someone missing on the right? Rodrygo. Is someone missing as No. 9? Rodrygo.

That’s it. It may get in my way a little, but I’m a team player.” Related Topics: Ballon d'Or 2024 Rodrygo Don't Miss Asaba 2024: We will sweep medals with 259 contingents – Abia Sports Council You may like Ballon d’Or 2024: Ronaldo, Messi, De Bruyne — Eight players not nominated Ballon d’Or 2024: Super Eagles winger Ademola Lookman makes 30-man shortlist Ballon d’Or 2024: Nominees for Yachine Trophy revealed [Full List] Ballon d’Or 2024: Full list of nominees Ballon d’Or 2024: Nominees for Coach of the Year revealed [Full List] Ballon d’Or 2024: Kopa Trophy nominees revealed [Full list] Advertise About Us Contact Us Privacy-Policy Terms Copyright © Daily Post Media Ltd.
