Ballon d’Or 2024: Bellingham overtakes Vinicius Jr as favourite for award
Real Madrid midfielder, Jude Bellingham, has overtaken his team-mate Vinicius Junior as favourite to win this year’s Ballon d’Or award.
The two players have been widely regarded as the two leading contenders for the prize.
Bellingham was integral to Madrid’s LaLiga triumph, while Vinicius proved decisive during the tail end of their Champions League success.

Goal reports that with Brazil suffering an embarrassingly early exit from the 2024 Copa America, the common consensus is that Bellingham is now one game away from the Ballon d’Or.
Bellingham may have gone missing for Madrid during the tail end of the club season.
He has also performed poorly at Euro 2024 despite scoring a couple of crucial goals in Germany.
But just being part of an England win over Spain on Sunday should seal the deal for the 21-year-old.
