In the Round of 16 of the 2024 European Championship, England defeated Slovakia 2-1. Bellingham scored a spectacular bicycle kick in the 95th minute, forcing the game into extra time and ultimately helping England advance to the quarterfinals, where they will face Switzerland.
Following Bellingham’s goal, Argentine star Agüero launched a Ballon d’Or poll on social media, asking fans who they thought should win the award this year. He listed four candidates: Vinicius (Brazil), Mbappé (France), Bellingham (England), and Messi (Argentina).
The results showed Messi leading with 39% of the vote, followed by Vinicius (35.9%), Bellingham (19.6%), and Mbappé trailing significantly with only 5.5% of the votes.
In addition to voting, netizens expressed various opinions. Some questioned Agüero’s list of candidates, stating, “If Messi is on the list, Agüero should be too.”
Other fans argued, “If Kroos wins the European Championship, he should win the Ballon d’Or.” Some pointed out, “There’s no doubt 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 collaborate with UEFA to establish a new Ballon d’Or. The award ceremony will be held on October 28th in Paris.
