Rodri won the 2024 Ballon d 'Or award, having lost only one match in 61 appearances for his country and club during the selection period (August 1, 2023 to July 30, 2024).
In last season's FA Cup final, United beat Manchester City 2-1 under then-manager Martin Tunhag to regain the FA Cup for the first time in eight years. This is also the only loss Rodri experienced during this year's Golden Ball selection cycle, and Rodri remained undefeated in the remaining 60 games.
