The international media published a list of the players closest to winning the Ballon d’Or 2024 in light of what was presented in the world of football over the course of the current season.
Real Madrid star Jude Bellingham’s stock has risen a lot recently, as he now has a 25% chance of winning the Ballon d’Or based on his amazing performance this season in all tournaments.
Perhaps the Royal Club’s qualification to the semi-finals of the Champions League, and how the English player shone, makes him the best and most influential player around the world throughout the season and the most likely to win the Ballon d’Or.
Kylian Mbappe comes in second place with 23%, given his top scorer ranking in the French League and his major role in leading Paris Saint-Germain to the Champions League semi-finals.
Harry Kane comes third with 18%, while Erling Haaland, runner-up in the last edition, has only a 17% chance, and the eight-time award holder, Lionel Messi, comes fifth with only 10%.
It remains to be noted that they are merely possibilities that depend on what has been presented in the season so far, and may change depending on the end of the football season, as well as the Euro 2024 and Copa America competitions, and even the Paris Olympics.
