Real Madrid is close to overtaking Barcelona

The Spanish newspaper Marca published that Real Madrid and Barcelona players are equal in number of Ballon d'Or winners, with 12 awards for each club so far.

But it is expected that Real Madrid wins its 13th Ballon d'Or, ahead of its traditional rival, FC Barcelona, ​​which has 12 Ballon d'Ors. It is likely that Brazilian Vinicius Junior, the Royal Club player, will win the award tomorrow, which will put the advantage in favor of Real Madrid in the Ballon d'Or marathon between the two clubs.

The Ballon d'Or ceremony begins tomorrow, Monday, at nine o'clock Egypt and Mecca time at the Chatelet Theater in the French capital, Paris.

The list of nominees for the 2024 Ballon D'or award includes Jude Bellingham, Vinicius Junior, Carvajal, Valverde, Rudiger, Mbappe, and Kroos from Real Madrid, while Dani Olmo and Lamine Yamal were nominated from the Catalan club.

Argentine legend Lionel Messi is the player who has won the Ballon d'Or award most times, with 8 times, and Portuguese star Cristiano Ronaldo comes in second place with 5 times.
