“Personally, I only see Vinicius in third place in my ranking of this year’s world footballers.

“For me, Rodri deserved the Ballon d’Or more than Vinicius. He was the thinker and leader of European champions Spain, and he also won the Premier League with Manchester City.

“These are two titles that his teams won, thanks to his strong performances. That is why he was the outstanding player of the year for me.”
