Ballon d’Or 2024: Full list of winners

Rodri and Aitana Bonmatí were crowned as the best male and female footballers in the world at the 2024 Ballon d’Or ceremony on Monday night, in what was a memorable night in Spain.

In a surprise twist, Rodri’s stellar performances for both club and country secured him the men’s Ballon d’Or.

Bonmatí retained the Ballon d’Or Féminin after leading Barcelona to an unprecedented quadruple and guiding Spain to further international success.

Barcelona’s 16-year-old sensation, Lamine Yamal, claimed the Kopa Trophy, awarded to the world’s top Under-21 player.

His remarkable season, punctuated by breakthrough performances for both club and Spain, positioned him as the standout choice for the award.

Carlo Ancelotti, who chose not to attend the ceremony with his Real Madrid squad, was honored as Men’s Coach of the Year.

Ancelotti’s exceptional leadership led Real Madrid to a UEFA Champions League and La Liga double, reinforcing his status as one of the top coaches globally.

Adding to Barcelona’s triumphs, they were named Women’s Club of the Year after a dominant 2023/24 season in which they secured the Liga F, UEFA Women’s Champions League, Copa de la Reina, and Spanish Supercopa.
