There are two days left until the Ballon d’Or is awarded and the bookmakers indicate the Brazilian as the designated winner Vinicius jr. Him or the sensational surprise Rodri but there doesn’t seem to be room for others.

Altobelli on Lautaro Martinez
Alessandro Altobelliformer striker ofInterhe has scored a few goals in his career (209 for the Nerazzurri) and knows very well that being a striker is not a simple thing. In the interview given to La Gazzetta dello Sport However, he has no doubts about which ones to choose between Lautaro-Thuram and Lukaku-Kvaratskhelia: “I’ll keep mine, they are one of the best-matched couples in Europe. They get along wonderfully, they think as a team and… partnership: neither of them is faulty of selfishness, they feel the goal but also the position of their teammate. They both live for goals but know how to be generous. And together they contributed to building a historic championship, winning it as dominators.”

Does Lautaro deserve the Ballon d’Or?
“There are more highly rated players, but Lautaro is now part of that club. And based on what he has shown, it wouldn’t surprise me to see him in front of everyone: it doesn’t count
only if you have won the Champions League, the goals you score, the matches you decide on, the way you make an impact in long marathons like Serie A count. I understand that this year the prize will not go to him, but in the coming years he can definitely win.”
