According to Goal Magazine, there are about 10 most likely players in the 2024 Golden Ball race. At the end of their careers, Messi and Ronaldo no longer have the absolute upper hand, so the opportunities are divided equally with many other names competing. compete in top national championships such as Premier League, La Liga, Bundesliga…
With the “dark horse” group, Harry Kane leads the Bundesliga top scorer with 22 promising goals. If the English striker helps Bayern Munich win the Champions League and plays well at EURO 2024, his chances of winning the first Golden Ball in his career will be very high.
Harry Kane’s junior in the Three Lions shirt, Jude Bellingham (20 years old), is considered the most promising young talent in the world today. Playing in the midfield position, Bellingham is very good at scoring goals. He scored 14 goals in 18 matches in La Liga, helping Real Madrid fiercely chase Girona for the season championship. Playing for the most successful club in the world is also an advantage that helps Bellingham always receive high attention.
Center striker Erling Haaland is considered a young star who will “sooner or later” win the Golden Ball title after he somewhat sadly received the Silver Ball and finished second at the FIFA The Best 2023 tournament. This season, Haaland has scored 14 goals in the Premier League; 5 goals in the Champions League for Manchester City Club and 6 goals for the Norwegian team.
However, Haaland faced a loss in the 2024 Golden Ball race because his Norway team did not make it to the EURO finals. The 23-year-old player only hopes for Man City’s achievements and this is not enough to make an absolute impression.
Kylian Mbappe won the 2023 Bronze Ball for the first time and of course the brightest star of the French team has much more ambition than that. Public opinion judges that once Messi and Ronaldo retire, no one other than Mbappe will have a chance to win many Golden Balls because he is still quite young (25 years old).
However, the most important thing is that Mbappe, as the conductor and number 1 striker, must help the French team win the throne at EURO 2024, and at the same time help Paris SG Club win the Champions League, he will firmly hold the Ballon d’Or title. Yellow. Otherwise, perhaps Mbappe will have to wait to transfer to Real Madrid to “change his luck”.
