Ballon d’Or 2024: the end of suspense, the winner unveiled !

Although *France Football* will not reveal the identity of the 2024 Ballon d’Or winner in advance of the ceremony on Monday, October 28, in Paris, Real Madrid is reportedly already preparing to celebrate Vinicius Junior’s victory.

The Brazilian winger, considered one of the top contenders for the prestigious award, is expected to beat Jude Bellingham and Rodri in the final result.

To follow Lionel Messi, the current record holder with eight Ballon d’Or titles, including his last win after Argentina’s 2022 World Cup triumph, the competition has been intense. However, Vinicius, who won La Liga and the Champions League with Real Madrid and was named the best player of the competition, is anticipated to take home the trophy.

While the official winner is only informed on stage at the Théâtre du Châtelet in Paris, Real Madrid seems confident about their player’s victory. According to *Relevo*, the club is already making preparations to celebrate this achievement, which may have been communicated privately before the ceremony.
