With the 2025 Ballon d’Or ceremony set to get underway in a while, the final rankings are being revealed by France Football, leading up to the gala.
And, Real Madrid midfield star Jude Bellingham has secured a final position of 23rd in the 2025 Ballon d’Or.
The 22-year-old England international was the second runner-up in last year’s gala, finishing behind Rodri of Manchester City and Real Madrid teammate Vinicius Jr.
However, Bellingham’s last season, much like the team, was not as good as it was during the 2023/24 season. He finished with 15 goals and assists apiece, while Real Madrid did not win any major trophies – just the UEFA Super Cup and the FIFA Intercontinental Cup.
As such, a high ranking as last year was never on the cards, and now it has been confirmed that Bellingham is in the 23rd position.
It remains to be seen where his teammates Kylian Mbappe and Vinicius finish in the rankings.
Meanwhile, it must be noted that Real Madrid have once again opted to boycott the Ballon d’Or gala, with no official representatives from the club.
