Former Manchester United striker, Michael Owen has named Real Madrid stars, Jude Bellingham and Vinicius Junior as his favorites to win the 2024 Ballon d’Or.

New Telegraph recalls that Bellingham and Vinicius were impressive for Real Madrid last season.

They helped Los Blancos won both the Champions League and the LaLiga.

“Bellingham has obviously done great. If England go and have a great Euros then he would be the obvious one. Vinícius Júnior has done equally well,” Owen said, as quoted by DAZN.

“You have just got to wait for the Euros, haven’t you? If Mbappe goes and scores a hat trick again in a final, like he did in the World Cup, he could be a late runner.

“As things stand, it probably looks like it is a toss-up between those two, Vinicius Junior and Bellingham, but there is still the biggest tournament to go of the year, so things can change.”
