A new Ballon d'or 2024 favourites ranking has been revealed with Brazil superstar Vinicius Jr losing his long-time first position with Seleçao's early exit in the Copa America while Spain's Lamine Yamal is climbing.
The Real Madrid star did not go far in the Copa America this summer as Brazil was knocked out in the quarter-finals.
Even though Vini Jr scored 2 goals in 3 macthes, his early exit leaves the door open for another player who is now on top of the rankings.
Lionel Messi is as well in the odds as he will play another Copa America with Argentina and is having an interesting season with Inter Miami before the break.
Barcelona wonderkid Lamine Yamal who turned 17 on Saturday is 16th on the list while Jude Bellingham, his tonight opponent in Euros final seats higher.
