The Daily Mail publishes the Ballon d'Or final results and confirms the winner of this award

The winner of the 2024 Ballon d'Or will be officially announced today (Monday) at a ceremony to be held in Paris.

For only the third time since 2007, this award will not go to either Lionel Messi or Cristiano Ronaldo, as the two legends are not among the nominees this year.

However, the English medium Daily Mail has published a list which appears to show the 12 players ranked based on points received, a picture which has gone viral on social networks.


This unconfirmed list indicates that Vinicius Junior is the Ballon d'Or winner with 630 accumulated points, 54 more than Rodri who is in second place.

Jude Bellingham is third, while two other English stars are also in the top eight - Harry Kane in fifth and Phil Foden in eighth.

Kylian Mbappe is in fourth position while Lamine Yamal is in seventh. Other names such as Dani Olmo, Florian Wirtz, Dani Carvajal and Antonio Rudiger share the ninth, tenth, 11th and 12th positions respectively.

However, the biggest surprise seems to be the fact that Erling Haaland is only sixth on the list with 195 accumulated points.

Haaland, who finished second to Messi in 2023, scored 38 goals in 45 games for City last season.

Full list of players by points scored:

Vinicius Junior (Brazil, Real Madrid) – 630 points

Rodri (Spain, Man City) – 576 points

Jude Bellingham (England, Real Madrid) – 422 points

Kylian Mbappe (France, Real Madrid) – 317 points

Phil Foden (England, Man City) – 29 points

Dani Olmo (Spain, Barcelona) – 25 points
