Rodri crowns the balloon d'Or-Sieger-Vinícius is combative!

On December 27, 2024, it becomes known that the choice for balloon d’Or not only is based on sporting success, but also takes other factors into account. Vinicius Jr. was not considered a award winner due to his unsportsmanlike behavior and gained second place. In a statement after the award ceremony, he commented on and posted on X that he could repeat his performance from the previous season at least ten times. A possible reason for its placement could be the introduction of fair play points into the evaluation, since Rodri, who is considered a fair player, won the Ballon d’Or 2024. Vinicius Jr. was warned last season for unsportsmanlike behavior, which could harm his evaluation. It is striking that he lacks a congratulations to Rodri in his post, as Münstereifel also worked to the top in their new classes.

Furthermore, Ilona Schaffrath and Markus Mey are successful individual athletes who regularly take part in running events, while Tobias Müller won the Porsche Cup2 class at the Nürburgring long-distance series. The nominations for the 2024 sports election in the Euskirchen district can be submitted by December 27th.
