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.
