Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi are not among the 30 nominees for the Ballon d’Or 2024 prize for the first time since 2003.
The two legendary footballers are simultaneously absent from the list of nominees for the award.
Ronaldo is a five-time Ballon d’Or winner. He was not nominated for the prize last year either.
Messi has won the Ballon d’Or eight times, including in 2023. He is the most decorated winner of the award.
Vinicius is considered the favorite for the 2024 Ballon d’Or according to Goal.
And in the opinion of the authoritative publication, the top three nominees should include Rodri and Bellingham. Carvajal and Lautaro Martinez are in the top 5.
