Ballon d'Or winner 2024: Real Madrid boss Carlo Ancelotti names Vinicius as his top pick

economictimes.indiatimes.com:

Euro Cup ended simultaneously this year and the world awaits the Finalissima for this year, which will see the winners of both these iconic championships, go head-to-head against each other. Meanwhile, there are also multiple speculations around the 2024 Ballon d'Or winner, with some of the world's leading analysts, stars and veterans lending their opinion on who could be the winner of this coveted title this time around.

Real Madrid boss bets on Vinicius

Real Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti has also joined in on this speculation game, with his pick for the Ballon d'Or winner for 2024. According to a Football Espana report, Carlo Ancelotti is placing his bet on Vinicius, who has a high chance of winning this coveted title, based on his excellent performance across the year. He also claimed that Dani Carvajal has also been phenomenal across the year and he would not be surprised if Carvajal took home this iconic title.

Ancelotti contributed largely to Vinicius' gameplay and improvement

Ancelotti has managed Vinicius throughout the year and largely to the manager's contributions, the young lad has been seen improving greatly in terms of tactics and strategy, which has always been the forte of the Real Madrid manager. Ancelotti is also of the opinion that Jude Bellingham has emerged one of the best players of the league and has also seen a fantastic season overall. However, he would still place his bets on Vini, largely because of his skills and agility throughout the previous year, which could be a primary reason France Football could hand him the coveted Ballon d'Or title this year.
