Rodri wins the World Cup Golden Ball and completes the rare “golden quadruple” feat by collecting the four major honors of football

On July 20 Beijing time, Spain beat Argentina 1-0 in the World Cup final. After the match, captain Rodri was awarded the World Cup Golden Ball, an honor symbolizing the best player. Rodri’s career includes Champions League titles, World Cup titles, UEFA European Championship titles, and the Ballon d’Or, writing a rare “golden quadruple” record in football.

In this tournament, Rodri anchored Spain’s midfield, handling the team’s transitions in both attack and defense and the match tempo. Before reaching the final, he had completed 648 passes, setting a single-edition World Cup record since statistics began in 1966, with a pass completion rate of 93%. His total running distance also exceeded 80k meters.

In the 2023 Champions League final, he scored the only goal of the match, helping Manchester City beat Inter Milan 1-0 to lift the club’s first-ever Champions League title. Rodri was also named the man of the match.

In 2024, Rodri again became the midfield core as Spain won the European Championship, and he was selected as the tournament’s best player. That same year, he outperformed a host of stars to win the Ballon d’Or, an award symbolizing the world’s best player of the year in football.

In the past, only Müller, Beckenbauer, and Zidane had completed the “golden quadruple.” Now Rodri has joined their ranks, cementing his status as the “world’s number one defensive midfielder.” In Rodri’s honor roll, he is only missing the Ballon d’Or’s equivalent of the world footballer of the year.

In a post-match interview, Rodri said: “I want to express my thanks—this team is incredible. We are world champions, and it’s hard to believe when you say it out loud. This is the most difficult edition in World Cup history. Our opponents had the greatest player in history, but we broke every record.”

When asked about Argentina’s inability to create chances, he said: “That’s the secret of this team—no matter what kind of opponent we face, we always take the initiative. Life needs courage, and life will eventually reward you.”

In recent years, Rodri has suffered a serious injury. Regarding his personal experience, Rodri said: “People can see that a player can reach their peak and then fall into a low point, but through hard work, life will eventually give you back what you deserve. I am an example of overcoming difficulties. There are many people who don’t know you, but I felt the support and care from the people of Spain.”
