In the Round of 16 of the 2024 European Championship, England defeated Slovakia 2-1. Bellingham scored a spectacular overhead kick in the 95th minute to force extra time and ultimately helped England advance to the quarter-finals, where they will face Switzerland.
After Bellingham’s goal, Argentine star Agüero launched a Ballon d’Or poll on social media, asking fans who should win the prestigious award this year. He listed four candidates: Vinicius Jr. (Brazil), Mbappé (France), Bellingham (England), and Messi (Argentina).
The results showed that Messi led with 39% of the votes, followed by Vinicius Jr. (35.9%), Bellingham (19.6%), and Mbappé with only 5.5% of the votes.
In addition to voting, netizens also posted various comments. Some questioned Agüero’s list of candidates, saying: “If Messi is on the list, then Agüero should be there too.”
Other fans said: “If Kroos wins the European Championship, he should win the Ballon d’Or.” Some fans also pointed out: “There is no doubt that Messi should win the Ballon d’Or.”
When will the 2024 Ballon d’Or be awarded?
The Amaury Group, the parent company of France Football magazine and L’Équipe, announced that starting in 2024, they will partner with UEFA to establish a new Ballon d’Or, with the awards ceremony to be held in Paris on October 28th.
