But who has been Real Madrid’s best player this season, and who deserves to win the 2024 Ballon d’Or? We’ve taken a look at some of the contenders.<\/p>\n

Jude Bellingham<\/h3>\n

What a first season in Spain it’s been for Jude Bellingham.<\/p>\n

Having already secured the first league title of his career, he can add the Champions League trophy to his collection, at Wembley, against his former side Borussia Dortmund and overtake Iker Casillas for the most Champions League starts before turning 21 years old if he is named in the starting XI for the final.<\/p>\n

This would be just another record in an incredible debut season for the 20-year-old.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

In October, he became the first Real Madrid player in the 21st century to score eight goals in his first eight LaLiga appearances and the first Real Madrid player to score twice in his first El Clasico. In November, he became the first player in Real Madrid’s history to score in each of his first four European Cup\/Champions League games for the club, and in February he became the first Real Madrid midfielder in the 21st century to score 15+ goals in a single LaLiga campaign.<\/p>\n

He has already overtaken David Beckham and Michael Owen in the Real Madrid goalscoring charts, scored two stoppage time winners in his first two LaLiga El Clasicos and won the Troph\u00e9e Kopa for the best U21 player in the world.<\/p>\n

And if he was awarded the Ballon d’Or, he could top of it all of by becoming the second-youngest recipient after Ronaldo (R9). However, if the the award is announced before the 28th September 2024, he would break that record as well.<\/p>\n
