Lady Gaga delivered a captivating performance as the first musical act during the Paris Olympics 2024 opening ceremony. The Grammy- and Oscar-winning performer began her performance on steps along the Seine River, singing Zizi Jeanmaire’s “Mon Truc en Plumes.” She was accompanied by a troupe of dancers carrying pink feather fans before moving on to the piano.

The singer’s representatives did not immediately respond to a request for comment about her performance.

An Associated Press reporter saw Gaga begin to warm up around three hours before the opening ceremony started, performing for about an hour before waving to fans as she walked off.

Gaga’s appearance was a surprise — she was not listed on a program provided to the media in advance — but was heavily rumored after the singer and actor was spotted in Paris.

  • The race for the 2024 Ballon d’Or remains a hotly debated topic, drawing substantial attention and discussion
  • Several players are emerging as strong contenders to challenge Real Madrid’s Vinícius Júnior and Jude Bellingham for the award
  • Marcelo has opened up on who should win the prestigious award, as the Madrid duo will compete with Rodri and Dani Carvajal for the award

Former Brazil international and ex-Real Madrid captain Marcelo has named his pick for this year’s Ballon d’Or winner.

France Football unveiled the nominees for the prestigious individual award last week.

Several Real Madrid stars made the 30-player shortlist following their impressive 2023-24 season.

Los Blancos claimed the UEFA Champions League title, edged out Barcelona to win La Liga, and also secured the Supercopa de España earlier this year, per Eurosport.

The White Angels added the UEFA Super Cup at the start of the current campaign.

Seven Real Madrid players were included in the Ballon d’Or shortlist, with names like Vinicius Jr., Jude Bellingham, Kylian Mbappe, Dani Carvajal, Federico Valverde, and Antonio Rudiger featuring prominently.

Retired midfielder Toni Kroos also earned a spot on the Ballon d’Or shortlist.

Legendary left-back Marcelo has predicted that Vinicius Jr. will take home the award at the ceremony on October 28.

As reported by MadridXtra, he said:

“Ballon d’Or? I think they will definitely give it to Vinícius Jr. Carvajal, Bellingham, Kroos played very well too,” as seen in sportskeeda.

Vinicius Jr. is a leading contender for the award but faces strong competition from Manchester City’s Rodri.

While Vini Jr. was nearly unstoppable at the club level, his run at the 2024 Copa America didn’t go as smoothly.

Despite netting two goals, the 24-year-old couldn’t replicate his club form in the South American championship, where Brazil was eliminated in the quarter-finals.

Meanwhile, key players like Manchester City’s creative midfielder Kevin De Bruyne, Liverpool’s prolific forward Mohamed Salah, and Real Madrid’s rising star Rodrygo were among the surprise absentees.

These decisions have sparked ongoing debate, with many fans and pundits continuing to express their outrage over the perceived ‘robberies.’

Chelsea winger, Jadon Sancho has aimed a subtle dig at Manchester United and former manager, Erik ten Hag after he was named Player of the Match for his performances against Bournemouth.

He provided the assist for Christopher Nkunku’s goal against Bournemouth at the Vitality Stadium.

“It’s amazing to make my debut for Chelsea, just being back playing, I’m very grateful,” Sancho told Sky Sports.

“I have been working hard for this moment and I’m happy I got my chance.
