To revivist France Football, which organizes the attribution of the Golden Ball, released the voting for the awards for the Kopa trophy, which distinguishes the best youngster, and which this year went to Pedri, from Barcelona.
It turns out that all the winners of the Ballon d’Or vote for this trophy, therefore also Luís Figo and Cristiano Ronaldo. Curious to see that both Figo and Ronaldo and even Messi voted for Nuno Mendes (now they are teammates) for second place – Figo chose Pedri first, as did Messi, while Ronaldo singled out teammate Mason Greenwood.
Nuno Mendes ended up in 4th place, with Jude Bellingham (Dortmund, Messi’s third choice) in second place and Jamal Musiala (Bayern) in third.
Interesting to see how the votes for the Kopa Trophy played out. Pedri, Jude Bellingham and Jamal Musiala vying for the first-place votes, although Luka Modric and Cristiano Ronaldo both go with Mason Greenwood at #1.
Ruud Gullit, on the other hand, picks Bukayo Saka at #1. pic.twitter.com/y344D3hYIH
