Croatia international, Ivan Perisic has picked Real Madrid defender, Dani Carvajal to win the 2024 Ballon d’Or ahead of the likes of Jude Bellingham and Vinicius Junior.
Carvajal played a key role as Luis de la Fuente’s side won Euro 2024 on Sunday night in Berlin, Germany.
The Spaniard enjoyed a great season for club and country, winning the UEFA Champions League, La Liga, and Supercopa de Espana with Real Madrid side and now Euro 2024 with La Roja.
In a post on his Instagram story, Perisic reacted to Spain’s 2-1 final win over England and backed Carvajal to become the first defender since Italy’s Fabio Cannavaro in 2006 to win the Ballon d’Or.
The 35-year-old also claimed that Fabian Ruiz was the “MVP” of the tournament.
He posted: “@Dani Carvajal – Ballon d’Or. Congrats Spain ..well deserved.”
