Rodri is the 2024 Ballon d’Or, whether Real Madrid likes it or not. The 28-year-old midfielder did not wish to speak about the absence of the Merengue club at the ceremony. “They made their decision, they didn’t want to be here for their reasons. I accepted, I just focus on my club, on my teammates, the people who are here, and the people who are happy to congratulate me, and that’s it.he declared after winning his prize.
As a reminder, Real Madrid, suspecting that Vinicius Junior was ultimately not going to be the winner, decided not to send its delegation to the ceremony. “It is obvious that the UEFA Ballon d’Or does not respect Real Madrid. And Real Madrid is not where it is not respected”declared Casa Blanca to justify his absence.
