No Messi or Ronaldo among Ballon d'Or nominees as Spanish stars dominate
Briefly

"For the first time since 2003, neither Cristiano Ronaldo nor Lionel Messi have been included as the nominees for the men's Ballon d'Or award, marking a notable shift in football dynamics. The absence of these two superstars from the nomination list is a significant milestone, given their long-standing dominance in the sport and the prestigious nature of the award, which they have collectively won multiple times."
"Rodri noted that after Spain's success in the Euro 2024 where they won all their matches and scored the most goals in the tournament, it’s time for Spanish football to have a Ballon d'Or winner. He stated, 'I would like for a Spaniard to win it, I don't care who. It would be great.' This sentiment reflects the pride of Spanish football and the talent within their ranks this season."
