Tomás Roncero Announces Ballon d'Or Winner: His Choice Leaves Everyone Stunned

In recent days, several media outlets have started a comparison between Lamine Yamal and Vinícius Jr. Taking advantage of Barça's Supercopa win, and the Brazilian doesn't seem to be at his best. That's why they're doing it now and not months ago when last season ended.

However, they've asked Tomás Roncero some questions to choose between the two in certain parameters. Dribbling, power, assists, but above all, they questioned him about the Ballon d'Or. They wanted to know who he thinks will win it first.

The surprise came when a Madrid journalist like Tomás Roncero didn't bet on Vinícius.He believes Lamine Yamal will be the one to lift the France Football trophy. Something that leaves everyone stunned but has a reason for this choice.

"Seeing who votes, the anti-Madrid don't want to vote for Vinícius and won't give him the Ballon d'Or," he stated. After what happened this year, he sees it as difficult for him to achieve that distinction. At least before the Spanish international, who seems to be a candidate, does.

The controversial decision of the last edition is still lingering in the air

Weeks have passed since the 2024 Ballon d'Or ceremony took place, and the controversy continues. The big favorite was Vinícius, as all impartial analysts pointed out. However, they decided to give it to Rodri, something that seems unjustifiable.

Not because the Spaniard had a bad year, but because he fell in the Champions League quarter-finals against Madrid. While Ancelotti's team not only reached the final but won it, and Vini scored there. But those weren't merits considered by the jury that chose the winner.

Something that didn't happen in The Best and the Globe Soccer Awards, where Vinícius was the winner. It's clear that something strange happened with the Ballon d'Or since it was the only one with a different winner. That's why Tomás Roncero's choice is understandable.
