Rico Lewis has joined the Spanish squad and an increasing number of pundits in backing Manchester City teammate Rodri to win the Ballon d'Or.
Manchester City players were not surprised to see Rodri dominate Euro 2024, and are joining calls for the Spaniard to win the Ballon d'Or this year.
"It's just expected now for a player of his quality – what he’s achieved in recent years," Lewis told reporters in North Carolina of his teammate. "He’s getting more of the accolades he deserves now – more of the personal accolades. He’s a serial winner. "You watch his performances but also in training, he talks to you, he takes you away and tells you what he sees and nine times out of 10 he’s right," Lewis explained.
City initially considered him for a loan away after signing, but changed their mind after his electric form and he will firmly be part of the senior squad this season.
