Everything indicates that Vinicius Junior is going to win the Ballon d’Or 2024 next 28th of this month. But there are other serious candidates, such as Rodri (Manchester City) or Kylian Mbappé (Real Madrid). However, it seems that the Argentine national coach, Lionel Scaloniit doesn’t seem to him that any of these three deserve to be ahead of his candidate, a world-class star who doesn’t sell as many t-shirts.
For Scaloni, who should win this individual award is Lautaro Martínez (Inter Milan). “He deserves it more than anyone,” he said categorically in the preview of the Albiceleste match against Bolivia. “What am I going to say? I’m his coach. I think he’s had a spectacular year. He’s scored a goal in the final, he’s scored the goal in the final, he’s been the top scorer in the Cup.”

Scaloni believes that, if not now, the forward will win the award later. “I hope it can be given to him. He is a boy who, in addition, I appreciate him a lot. He has been with us from minute zero. I hope it can be given to him. Surely, if not now, it will be later. He has a huge future still,” he added, excited about the possibility of the ‘Bull’ winning the vaunted prize on some occasion.
