Vinícius Júnior and Jude Bellingham learned where they finished among the 30 players shortlisted for the 2025 Ballon d’Or, and the result is a drastic change from their placings just one year ago.
Bellingham was the first to receive his new ranking, coming in at 23rd place in the 2025 Ballon d’Or voting. Vinícius Júnior was not far behind with a 16th place finish.
Both rankings are a far cry from the two superstars’ placings in 2024, when Bellingham finished third and Vinícius Júnior was crowned the runner-up. The England international dropped 20 places while his teammate plummeted 14 places.
