Manchester City won a fourth consecutive Premier League title in 2023/24, a feat that means their squad are likely to be among the elite 30 male players nominated for the Ballon d'Or 2024.
Last season did mark a slight regression as Pep Guardiola's men were edged out of the UEFA Champions League on penalties by eventual winners Real Madrid before losing the FA Cup final to Manchester United.
On the other hand, the 2022/23 treble winners further bolstered their trophy cabinet by collecting the UEFA Super Cup and FIFA Club World Cup.
Midfield totem Rodri is tipped for the big prize after proving to be just as vital to Euro 2024 winner Spain as he is to his club. Erling Haaland won a second consecutive Golden Boot in the Premier League but followed City's overall trend of slight regression from the previous campaign.
Who will join those two on the shortlist and how else are City represented in the other categories that will be recognised on the Ballon d'Or awards night?

Which Manchester City players were nominated for the Ballon d'Or 2024?
- Rodri
- Erling Haaland
- Ruben Dias
- Phil Foden
Pep Guardiola has been nominated in the inaugural Men's Coach of the Year category, while Manchester City are seeking to win the Men's Club of the Year prize for a third consecutive year.
Kevin De Bruyne stands as the big omission from the individual list, although the decision is reflective of the Belgium playmaker missing the first half of last season following hamstring surgery.
City's women's team are a big part of the club's wider success and, although they were not nominated in the Women's Club of the Year category, Lauren Hemp, Yu Hasegawa and Khadija 'Bunny' Shaw have all made the 30-player shortlist for the Ballon d'Or Feminin.
Savinho was named on the 10-man shortlist for the Kopa Trophy, which recognises the best male player in the world under the age of 21. This acknowledges the Brazil international's excellent performances on loan at Girona last season that secured a move from parent club Troyes to City.
