Sergio Aguero, the Manchester City legend, has revealed who gets his vote to win the 2024 Ballon d'Or.
Sergio has picked Rodri, ahead of Vinicius Junior and Jude Bellingham.
A 30-man shortlist was announced this week ahead of the award ceremony next month.
But Aguero has now publicly given his backing to former City team-mate Rodri to claim the coveted accolade.
In response to City tweeting about Rodri's Ballon d'Or nomination, Aguero tweeted: "A perfect year, you deserve it. Come on Rodri."
Rodri was part of the City squad that romped to to a record fourth straight Premier League title in May.
He also played a crucial role in guiding Spain to Euro 2024 glory.
