There was no golden ball for Erling Braut Haaland, but he can still be happy that it was a teammate who ran away with the award. It was Rodrigo Hernández Cascante – better known as Rodri – who won the Ballon d’Or award in Paris. Manchester City’s midfield general has suffered a serious knee injury that will keep him out of action for the entire season, forcing him to take to the stage on crutches. It was a moved Spaniard who received the award. – This is an incredible evening for me tonight. Very special for me and my family, Rodri said from the stage as he struggled with his emotions. – Football is a team sport, and I want to thank my team-mates in Manchester City and in the Spanish national team. This is how the top 10 on the men’s side were: 1. Rodri (Manchester City) 2. Vinícius Jr. (Real Madrid) 3. Jude Bellingham (Real Madrid) 4. Dani Carvajal (Real Madrid) 5. Erling Braut Haaland (Manchester City) 6. Kylian Mbappé (Paris Saint-Germain, Real Madrid) 7. Lautaro Martínez (Inter Milan) 8. Harry Kane (Bayern Munich) 9. Toni Kroos (Real Madrid) 10. Lamine Yamal (Barcelona) Other Norwegians: 19. Martin Ødegaard (Arsenal)
