Rodri

Manchester City and Spain midfielder Rodri was awarded the men's Ballon d'Or on Monday after winning a fourth consecutive Premier League title and Euro 2024, but Real Madrid boycotted the ceremony.

Spain, aiming for their 4th European Championship trophy, will face either England or the Netherlands in the final on Sunday (22:00). France initially led with Kolo Muani’s 9th-minute goal, but Spain equalized in the 21st minute through Yamal and secured the win with Olmo’s goal in the 25th minute.

Manchester City won the first Champions League in their history on June 10 and secured a treble of trophies by beating Inter Milan 1-0.

In a far closer match than many pundits had predicted, Rodri's sweetly-struck goal proved the difference for Abu Dhabi-backed City, who have already won the Premier League and FA Cup this season.
