Midfielder of the Spain national team Dani Olmo commented on the victory of his compatriot Rodri in the nomination for the "Ballon d’Or".
— Rodri was chosen as the best player after spending a year or two at a high level, the peak of which was winning at Euro 2024. There were also other great candidates, such as Carvajal.
It was nice to watch how Rodri celebrated this triumph with his family. His speech at the ceremony reflects the feelings of many Spaniards. This "Ballon d’Or" is for all of Spanish football. In the past, there were two beasts in world football that destroyed everything. This time, Spanish football won, — said Dani Olmo.
