Manchester City, under Pep Guardiola, have enjoyed success on both domestic and European fronts, with individual players also earning recognition. Gary Lineker believes Rodri, who played a crucial role in City’s season and his national team’s Euro 2024 victory, could have been a contender for the Ballon d’Or if City had advanced further in the Champions League. Alan Shearer echoes this sentiment, stating it would be unfair for Rodri’s injury to impact his chances of winning the prestigious award.
However, despite City’s exit from the Champions League, Rodri’s contributions to the team have not gone unnoticed by fans, who appreciate his importance regardless of individual accolades. The debate surrounding the Ballon d’Or reflects the fine margins between success and disappointment in football, where one penalty shootout result could potentially alter the course of a player’s career and recognition on the world stage.
