As the 2023-2024 season of the top five European football leagues nears its conclusion, all eyes in the football world are turning to the eagerly anticipated UEFA European Championship and Copa America, both set to kick off in June. Meanwhile, the Ballon d'Or, the highest individual honor in football, is also set to reach its climax.
At this crucial moment, the foreign media ABELE has timely updated the latest prediction rankings for the Ballon d'Or.
In the list, Real Madrid's star player Bellingham takes the top spot.
This season, Bellingham has led Real Madrid to the La Liga title as a key player and has already reached the UEFA Champions League final with the team.
Considering Real Madrid's chances of achieving a double this season and England's hopes of winning the European Championship, the outstanding form of Bellingham currently places him as the favorite for the Ballon d'Or.
In second and third place on the list are Mbappe and Vinicius, both of whom will also compete for the championship in the intercontinental cup this summer.
As Mbappe is practically certain to join Real Madrid, it can be said that the top three spots on the list are basically dominated by Real Madrid.
It is worth mentioning that Haaland, who narrowly missed out on the Ballon d'Or competition with Messi last season, has dropped to ninth place in this round of Ballon d'Or predictions.
Unlike many lists in the midseason that included Messi as a candidate, ABELE has excluded both legendary stars from this TOP20 list.
Another noteworthy aspect of the list is Kroos, who ranks eighth.
Despite having announced his retirement after the European Championship, the media still placed Kroos in the top ten.
Here is the detailed Ballon d'Or prediction TOP20:
1. Bellingham (Real Madrid/England)
2. Mbappe (PSG/France)
3. Vinicius (Real Madrid/Brazil)
4. Kane (Bayern Munich/England)
5. Rodrigo (Manchester City/Spain)
6. Foden (Manchester City/England)
7. Wirtz (Bayer Leverkusen/Germany)
8. Kroos (Real Madrid/Germany)
9. Haaland (Manchester City/Norway)
10. Saka (Arsenal/England)
11. Salah (Liverpool/Egypt)
12. Valverde (Real Madrid/Uruguay)
13. Odegaard (Arsenal/Norway)
14. Rodrigo (Real Madrid/Brazil)
15. Griezmann (Atletico Madrid/France)
16. B. Silva (Manchester City/Portugal)
17. Lautaro (Inter Milan/Argentina)
18. Rudiger (Real Madrid/Germany)
19. Musiala (Bayern Munich/Germany)
20. Barella (Inter Milan/Italy)
So, the question arises, who do you think will have the last laugh in the race for the 2024 Ballon d'Or?
