Insisting that Real Madrid right-back Dani Carvajal should take home the 2024 Ballon d’Or is Frank Leboeuf, a former Chelsea defender.
Leboeuf feels Carvajal should win the Ballon d’Or ahead of Jude Bellingham, Vinicius Jr., and Rodri because he won every trophies this year.
According to him, nobody likes the Spain defender because he doesn’t have many goals.
The 2024 Ballon d’Or will be awarded in October.
Speaking on ESPNFC, Leboeuf said:
“Carvajal, he’s won everything. So we have to call it the forward Ballon d’Or [if Bellingham or Vinicius wins it]. Vini won the Champions League, won the league, but was not really good in Copa America. Bellingham wasn’t good at the Euros.
“And then you have two guys, Rodri didn’t win the Champions League but he has been absolutely outstanding and the best player in the Euros, won the Premier League.
“Then you have Carvajal, nobody likes him because he doesn’t have [many goals].
“He is like our times’ right-back, dirty, tricky or whatever but the guy won everything.
“So you can tell me what it is, whether it’s the Ballon d’Or of some people or the Ballon d’Or for all footballers. If that’s the case [Carvajal should win].”
