Pep Guardiola, the manager of Manchester City, has entered the Ballon d'Or conversation for this year.

According to the Spaniard, Rodri deserves to win over Kylian Mbappe, Jude Bellingham, and Vinicius Junior.

Guardiola maintains that Rodri's consistency has been "brutal".

He further stated: "I can't deny how happy I would be if Rodri could get the Ballon d'Or" .
"His consistency is simply awful.

"Being in the race, being nominated, or winning the Ballon d'Or is fantastic."

Rodri was an important player of the City club that won the Premier League for the fourth straight season and the Euro 2024 championship alongside Spain.
