The final results of the controversial 2024 Ballon d’Or vote have been revealed by France Football.

The call to overlook the Brazilian for his first-ever Ballon d’Or caused a storm of controversy as Los Blancos opted for a sensational boycott of the awards.

Spain star Rodri was named as the No.1 pick in the final reveal on the back of winning the Premier League and Euro 2024 with La Roja.

As the dust has settled on the row, the specifics over how Rodri won and Vinicius Jr ‘lost’ are likely to cause more debate, based on the gap between them.

The reports indicates Rodri picked up 1,170 points as part of the voting process, just 41 ahead of Vinicius Jr’s final tally, which stood at 1,129.

That is a significant change from 2023 where Lionel Messi beat Rodri’s clubmate Erling Haaland by almost 100 voting points after winning the 2022 FIFA World Cup with Argentina.
