After Vinicius Jr’s second place in the 2024 Ballon d’Or rankings, Real Madrid leaked surprising information.

THE

real Madrid it’s bad. Absent from the France Football Ballon d’Or ceremony on Monday evening at the Théâtre du Châtelet, the Spanish club would be furious with the final verdict, which crowned the Spaniard Rodri to the detriment of the Brazilian striker Vinicius Jr. Big anger, big frustration from Real Madrid when they learned that Vinicius Jr or Dani Carvajal were not going to receive the Ballon d’Or“, explained Antoine Simmoneau, correspondent in Madrid for the newspaper L’Equipe.

“They believe that according to the criteria of the Ballon d’Or, if it was not given to Vinicius Jr it should have been given to Carvajal, and so basically the Ballon d’Or did not respect Real Madrid and Real Madrid did not go where it was not respected. There was a delegation of around fifty people that was supposed to leave, and they decided to cancel everything at 3 p.m. »

Real Madrid no longer want to hear about the Ballon d’Or

“It seems like the reaction of a capricious child and a sore loser,” the journalist continued.

There is the feeling that UEFA is behind all this and that it is very political, as Eduardo Camavinga said a few minutes ago. That’s the feeling you get in Madrid. »

Will Real Madrid move away from an individual award to which it was historically linked? This is the trend that is emerging according to Antoine Simmoneau. “I know that for them, the Ballon d’Or becomes something they will care very little about, which no longer has much interest. “.
