Only Matthäus and Rijkaard can be compared to him, but Matthäus never won the Champions League, and Rijkaard never won the World Cup. Moreover, Rodri has been named MVP in the World Cup, European Championship, and Champions League—his status as the undisputed best defensive midfielder in history is beyond question.

Although not the most outstanding, scoring six goals is certainly not average.

In that case, it’s still best to give it to Kane.

Support Rodri—the single defensive midfielder is indeed exceptional.

Messi is missing a European Championship; Cristiano Ronaldo is missing a World Cup.

It would be utterly unjust not to award Rodri the Ballon d’Or. In a World Cup year, performances at the World Cup naturally take precedence—just look at Modrić in 2018 and Messi in 2023. In both cases, other players delivered outstanding club seasons with superior stats, yet fell short on the international stage. Rodri was phenomenal at the World Cup, facing elite opposition throughout the knockout stages; his midfield consistently dominated every opponent. His standout performance in the final undoubtedly left a strong impression. Winning the World Cup and securing the Ballon d’Or would instantly elevate Rodri to legendary status.

Please change your avatar and ID first before making such a comment. Haaland didn’t join Manchester City because of standout stats in the Bundesliga—Bundesliga stats don’t count—and what exactly is Haaland?
