Ballon d’Or Rankings: Bayern Munich get 3, Jude Bellingham vs. Kane, where’s Bukayo Saka?

With most of Europe's top five leagues at their halfway point of the 2023/24 season, it's time to take a fresh look at the top 10 Ballon d'Or candidates for next year, 2024. 10. Bayern Munich AM Jamal Musiala 9. Manchester City DM Rodri 8. Bayer Leverkusen LB Álex Grimaldo Álex Grimaldo isn't the most well-known name in the Bundesliga or even on his own team, but he should absolutely be considered a Ballon d'Or candidate on the basis of his play this season. A new member of the squad, Grimaldo is one of many brilliant signings made by Die Werkself, and he is setting a different standard as a left back who can dictate play and even score great goals.

Best Striker Rankings: Inter Europe’s envy, Erling Haaland or Harry Kane No. 1?

Replacing 2020/21 Serie A MVP Romelu Lukaku is no easy task, yet anyone following Inter closely will tell you ...
