2024 Ballon d'Or competitiveness rankings: Bayking Kane leads the way, Cristiano Ronaldo Messi ranks in the top 20
On Monday, "Goal.com" announced the 2024 Ballon d'Or competitiveness rankings, Bellingham, who has a magical performance after joining Real Madrid, ranked first, Messi and Ronaldo ranked 19th and 17th respectively.
On October 30, Messi won the Ballon d'Or for the eighth time. Halfway through the 2023-24 season, who will win the 2024 Ballon d'Or has become a hot topic. It is worth emphasizing that since both the European Cup and the Copa America will be held in the summer of 2024, the ranking of the Ballon d'Or will change dramatically.
Bellingham tops the table, while Kane overtook Kylian Mbappe to second place with his impressive performances at Bayern, while Haaland, who missed out due to injury in December, slipped to fourth.
Goal.com analysed Haaland's downside, saying, "Despite being currently sidelined with a minor injury, his form at Manchester City is unlikely to be up and down. If City win another number of trophies, they may help Haaland cross the finish line. However, the biggest obstacle to Haaland's trophy is Norway's failure to qualify for the European Championships, and he will once again miss international competitions. ”
As it stands, Kane and Bellingham are the two English players most likely to win the Ballon d'Or in 2024. In the 2023-24 season, Kane has scored 29 goals and provided nine assists, making him the player with the most goals and involvements.
"Goal.com" pointed out that "after joining Bayern, Kane has been involved in more than one goal per game. If he can maintain that form throughout the season and win the European Championship with LinkedIn Glen, he may be a real contender on the stage in Paris. ”
Bellingham has been even better than Kane's performances, scoring 18 goals and providing eight assists this season. "There is no doubt that Bellingham is the best player in the world at the moment, he has fully adapted to Real Madrid and has become the best signing since Cristiano Ronaldo. With Bellingham, who is in excellent form, England are also confident of challenging for the European Championships. Although there is still a long way to go, Bellingham's enemies are only themselves. ”
It is worth emphasizing that despite being 38 and 36 years old respectively, Ronaldo and Messi are still among the top 20, ranking 17th and 19th respectively. "Goal.com" analysis, "In the 2023 selection, Ronaldo failed to be on the 30-man shortlist for the first time since 2003. After losing to Riyadh Crescent, Riyadh Victory almost struggled to win the league title. Still, he has hope of helping Riyadh win the Saudi crown and the AFC Champions League, while Portugal are already one of the favourites to win the European Championship and could be the superstar's true swan song this season!
"Messi's chances of winning are not good because the MLS season runs from February to December, which means that the MLS playoffs have not yet started during the Ballon d'Or selection cycle. However, if Messi can finish Inter Miami at the top of the Eastern Conference next season and successfully defend the Copa America in the CONCACACAF Champions Cup, Messi is still expected to win the Ballon d'Or for the ninth time. ”
