Real Madrid’s choice to boycott the Ballon d’Or ceremony did not leave the famous magazine indifferent.
This Monday, the monthly France Football will co-organize the Ballon d’Or ceremony with UEFA. Highly anticipated, this event will take place without the presence of the Real Madrid delegation.
The Spanish club chose to boycott the evening. None of its players or managers will be in the game. The reason? Vinicius Jr would have been overtaken for the final victory by Rodri. The Merengue have badly digested this verdict and now consider “that the Ballon d’Or no longer exists”.
France Football refutes any leak
On the France Football side, we have not commented directly on the choice of the Madrilenians to snub this high mass. On the other hand, we wanted to assure that, contrary to the rumors which have circulated, no one is yet aware of the verdict. As a reminder, this year and for the first time, the winner will know that he is crowned at the same time as everyone else, that is to say during the final announcement.
In addition, Olivier Brossard, one of the magazine’s journalists, revealed that no one spilled the beans within his management while there were all-out attempts to make them spill the beans. “We receive a lot of messages to the editorial staff from clubs or agents. We are told that their player must know, because he can’t stop thinking about it.”
