Sudan Events – Agencies
The struggle is heating up between Real Madrid players, specifically for the Ballon d’Or, after the exceptional season presented by the Merengue, during which they won the Champions League, La Liga, and the Spanish Super Cup, and after Brazil’s elimination from the quarter-finals of the Copa America against Uruguay on penalties, the chances of the Seleção striker, Vinicius Junior, were somewhat reduced. In the fight for the award, despite his wonderful season with Real Madrid, Spaniard Dani Carvajal and his English teammate Jude Bellingham became the most likely to win the Ballon d’Or. Bellingham was crowned the best young player in the Champions League, the best player in La Liga, in addition to the best player in the Champions League of Real Madrid. Carvajal also played an exceptional role with the Royal Club, in the past season, as he participated in 41 matches in various competitions, and succeeded in scoring 6 goals and making 5 assists. The Spanish international scored a decisive goal in the Champions League final, during the (2-0) victory over Borussia Dortmund. The German Carvajal succeeded in proving that he is the best right-back in the world, during the past season, with the testimony of many of his competitors, before his colleagues.
