Ballon d'Or 2024: Who is the favourite?

The bookmakers' favourite to win the 2024 Ballon d'Or was Real Madrid and Brazil winger Vinicius Junior.

The 24-year-old scored 24 goals and registered nine assists last season, as he fired Los Blancos to a La Liga and Champions League double, and was priced at 4/9 until Monday afternoon.

However, when news broke that no Real Madrid delegation would travel to Paris for the ceremony, people flocked to Rodri. He was the second-favourite for ages (at around 7/4) but is now seemingly the dead-cert, with Vini Jr and teammate Jude Bellingham making up the top three.
