Topic: Lautauro Martinez for Ballon D’or Vs Vini and others - page 3. (Read 491 times)

Who will be named the Golden Ball in 2024, perhaps a question that is difficult to answer immediately for many world football fans. Euro and Copa America take place at the same time with many exciting competitions and many surprises. However, competing for the Golden Ball is never easy. Lautaro Martinez will have to face strong opponents like Vinicius, Rodri, or Bellingham.
If talking about Rodri with the Euro 2024 Championship, Lautaro Martinez of Argentina is also a bright candidate for the Golden Ball. Martinez had the most successful season of his career to date, winning the Serie A Championship with Inter Milan and the Copa America Championship with Argentina. In the individual category, Martinez won the title of Serie A top scorer and was the best player of the tournament. This striker also won the Copa America top scorer title. So with the titles he has won, Lautaro Martinez deserves to win the award but to be honored he needs a lot of luck.

If the Copa America and Euro 2024 are considerable factors, then I think Lautaro Martinez might have a shot at it too, for Vini and Bellingham, their chances are rather more dim now with Rodri also having had a special season, he wasn't bad in the PL this season and despite not making the finals of the Champions and winning it like Vini and Bellingham, I think his standout performance in the Euro would have place right on the same level with the supposed favorites, Vini and Brazil were way below par in the Copa America so, it really is going to be a very close margin now.

I think it might be Vinicius Jr but a name not mentioned in the OP is Rodri of Man City. He won the PL title and was player of the tournament with Spain winning Euro 2024.

It’s much tougher now since the step down from peak CR7 and Messi is huge.

It is the first time hearing Lautaro Martinez in this debate for Ballo D'Or, and I do not think he comes close or should even be a candidate for it. He has not been as influential for his team as Vini Jr or even Bellingham was for Real Madrid, and even though he finished the season as highest goal scorer or some other record. It still does not qualify him for it. Picking Lautaro Martinez is like picking Alvarez or some other random person for the award. It is Vini's year, he should have it.

It's hard to say who deserves Ballon D'or this year because when it was Messi's and Cristiano's era, it was easy to predict, both of them were phenomenal players with phenomenal statistics. I think we don't have footballer as magical and competitive as Messi for example and because of that, these days people mostly support their favorite players. There is not a clear best football player in the world right now, individual performances sucks today.

I personally like Lautaro Martinez very much, he also scored an important goal in the Copa America finale but I think that Rodri will get the Ballon D'or. I think Vinicius doesn't deserve it.

Lautauro is not a push off or push by fans. The man deserves it, his achievements and statistics is there to prove it. He had a very outstanding season both National and club wise.
For me he’s the BEST candidate for the Ballon D’or.

I disagree with anyone who thinks Rodri or Cavajal to be the ballon Dior, Vinicius, Bellingham and Lautauro should be the favorite players to win the award, these players deserve the award because they turn up for their team when the team wants to win, Vinicius and Bellingham have made Real Madrid not to miss Benzema because, from the beginning of the season, people think that Real Madrid can not win any trophy because they don’t have a striker but the players turn and make sure they played for the team and make their fans happy, even Toni Kroos deserves the award because he is among the best player that makes the young players in Real Madrid win the league.

I was very disappointed to see Rodri at the top of the Ballon Dior top five, can anyone tell me what Rodri has achieved this season, Rodri played for Manchester City and Manchester City won only the premier league trophy and they got knockout by Real Madrid in the champion league round of 16 and he played for Spain and won the Euros with them and they gave him the best player of the tournament that he did not deserve, Rodri didn’t deserve the best player of the tournament for Spain, those players who deserve it are Dani Olmo and Fabian Ruiz because they were very much better than Rodri in this tournament, If Rodri win this season ballon Dior that means the player performance for a team means nothing.

Any other name aside  Vini, Jude Bellingham is just a push by their fans to force us to believe that they are deserving of this award. And in my estimation it is ridiculous. These players have had brilliant records from the last season. And Lautauro Martinez, is also a top contender for this award...his records are damm impressive from being a Scudetto winner to Copa to top scorer. And I agree with everyone who says his name also should be in the list. I disagree with anyone who will want Toni Kroos, Rodri or Carvajal to be in the list with the earlier mentioned names. While they are fantastic players, their records are not as brilliant as the ones I mentioned.

Lautauro Martinez was serie A best player and highest goal scorer last season.
He Won the Italian Super Cup
Won the Serie A
Won Copa America and was the highest goal scorer.
He has more individual award than Vinicius jnr or any other player on the list and also has some good trophies.
Based on the criteria for ballon D’or as the overall golden ball he’s the best candidate but sadly he’s not been talked about enough.

Please what has Vinicius jnr or Jude Bellingham got over him (if you say UCL he has National Trophy)
Vinicius and Jude Bellingham both have
1.La Liga
2.UEFA Champions League
3.Super cup
I don’t think any of them have any individual awards, so why are they the most talked about.
