Rodri, the star of the Spanish national team, is one step away from the legendary achievement, which was achieved by only 10 players in the history of football.
Spain qualified for the 2026 World Cup finalsYesterday, Tuesday, beating France with two clear goals in the semi-final.
Rodri is considered to be one of La Roja’s most popular players at the current World Cup, although before the tournament he was suffering from physical problems that prevented him from reaching his peak.
Sunday’s final awaits him, where he can complete the treble of winning the World Cup, Champions League and Ballon d’Or.
According to the newspaperMundo Deportivo:“So far, ten players have managed to win the three major awards at the national team, club and individual levels.

English football legend Bobby Charlton won the 1966 World Cup with England, winning the Ballon d’Or, and two years later, in 1968, exactly ten years after the Munich air disaster, he won English football’s first European Cup with Manchester United.
Gerd Müller was the next player to achieve this feat. “Torpedo” was the first German to win the Ballon d’Or as a reward for his outstanding performance with Germany at the 1970 World Cup in Mexico.
Brazil won that tournament, but the MVP award was limited to European players.
In 1974, Müller won the World Cup, which was played on home soil, and the Champions League with Bayern Munich against Atletico Madrid.
As for his compatriot and teammate Franz Beckenbauer, he won the Ballon d’Or in 1972, and also the European Cup and the World Cup in 1974.
Italy’s Paolo Rossi won the World Cup and Ballon d’Or after winning the 1982 World Cup in Spain and completed the treble with Juventus in 1985.
The next player to achieve this feat is Zinedine Zidane, who won the World Cup with France and the Ballon d’Or in 1998, and also won the Champions League trophy with Real Madrid in 2002.
As for the Brazilian Rivaldo, he won all these titles in different periods. In 1999, he won the Ballon d’Or with Barcelona, in 2002 he won the World Cup in South Korea and Japan with Brazil, and in 2003 he won the Champions League trophy with AC Milan, becoming the first player from outside Europe to win all three awards.
Ronaldinho followed in their footsteps, winning the 2002 World Cup, the 2005 Ballon d’Or and the 2006 Champions League.
Kaka also played in South Korea and Japan, and in 2007 he won the Champions League title and the world’s best player award.
Now it’s Lionel Messi’s turn. In 2022, he completed the treble in Qatar by winning the World Cup, after winning four Champions League titles, the first in 2006, and eight Ballon d’Or awards, the first in 2009.
Ousmane Dembele, having won the 2018 World Cup in Russia, the Champions League and the 2025 Ballon d’Or, has completed the list of ten players that Rodry could join next Sunday to form a legendary team.
