Kalvin Phillips has not yet made a significant impact at Manchester City despite the club paying £45m to sign him in 2022. With only 31 appearances for the team, Phillips has been overshadowed by Rodri, who has been a key player for City. However, with Rodri now out for the season due to ACL injury, Phillips has spoken highly of his teammate, suggesting that he deserves to win the Ballon d’Or for his exceptional performances.
Phillips is not alone in his praise for Rodri, as others like Lothar Matthaus and Alan Shearer have also highlighted his contributions to both Manchester City’s success and Spain’s European Championship victory. Despite his injury, many believe that Rodri’s achievements and impact on the pitch make him a deserving candidate for the prestigious award. Phillips sees Rodri as a player who has met the criteria to win the Ballon d’Or, emphasizing the midfielder’s leadership and success in recent competitions.
