In a twist ahead of the 2024 Ballon d’Or awards, voting results appear to have leaked online, stirring excitement among football fans worldwide.
According to the Daily Mail, a list showing the top 12 contenders and their points surfaced on social media, potentially revealing the winner before Monday night’s official announcement in Paris.
The leaked list shows Real Madrid winger Vinicius Junior in the lead with 630 points, closely followed by Manchester City midfielder Rodri, who reportedly scored 576 points. England international Jude Bellingham, also with Real Madrid, ranks third on the list, while Kylian Mbappe, another favorite, comes in fourth.
