Among the three Real Madrid players expected to win the Ballon d’Or, Carlo Ancelotti reveals his selection: Jude Bellingham, Vinicius Junior, or Dani Carvajal…

Jude Bellingham, Vinicius Jr., and Dani Carvajal are the contenders for Carlo Ancelotti’s Ballon d’Or, which he has already selected.

After Madrid won La Liga and the Champions League, Bellingham, Vinicius, and Carvajal were all predicted to play for the Ballon d’Or in October. In 39 games, Vinicius contributed 35 goals for the Spanish powerhouses, Carvajal led Spain to the European Championship following a trophy-filled club season, and the England international had an incredible debut season that helped lead his country to the 2024 Euro final.

“In my view, Vinicius Jr. will prevail because he is a talented player,” Ancelotti stated on the Obi One podcast. Last season, he performed admirably. Given that Carvajal won the league, the Champions League, the European Cup, and the scoring, it is true that he was also exceptionally good. Jude had an incredible season, taking home both the league and the Champions League championships. Of all the players in the league, that one was a major surprise. It isn’t the most significant, in my opinion. Would you rather win the Ballon d’Or or the Champions League, if you were to interview the player? The Champions League!”

With the goal of winning La Liga and the Champions League once more, Real is getting ready for the upcoming season. The addition of Kylian Mbappe, a PSG player expected to compete with the Ballon d’Or contenders, has surely increased their chances.
