Real Madrid midfielder Jude Bellingham picked his favourite to win Ballon d’or 2024 during the club’s media day ahead of UEFA Champions League final on Saturday.

The Spanish giants respected their traditional media day ahead of a Champions League final with all the players speaking on the club’s TV channel.

When Jude Bellingham’s turn came, he was asked on his impressive first season finishing as the third top scorer in La Liga with 19 goals but also on the Ballon d’or 2024.

Many believe that the England international will win the highly-coveted award if he claims the UEFA Champions League trophy on Saturday against Borussia Dortmund and win the European Championship in the summer with the Three Lions.

However, the 19-year old himself believes the outright favourite to win is his teammate Vinicius Jr. “For me, Vini is the best [player] in the world”, Bellingham said.

“He creates magic out of nothing. He has everything to be the best.

“Vini has said Bellingham is the best? If that’s how he feels then you can split it in two (laughs),” he added.
