BREAKING: Cope reports that Real Madrid now believe that it was UEFA who decided that Vini Jr shouldn’t win the Ballon d’Or, for non-football reason!
This was also the first collaboration between France Football and UEFA. It’s quite obvious now
Real Madrid superstar Vinicius had been viewed as the favourite to win the 2024 Ballon d’Or for his performances as the Brazilian helped Los Blancos win the La Liga and Champions League double. However, reports on Monday afternoon have suggested that Real Madrid have been made aware that Manchester City and Spain star Rodri will win the prestigious award in Paris on Monday evening
Vinicius and an entourage of Real Madrid players and members, as well as the 24-year-old’s family, were supposed to travel to Paris to attend the ceremony. However, once the news of Rodri’s Ballon d’Or win came to the forefront, the Brazilian decided to cancel the trip. It was then decided that others members of Madrid’s camp wouldn’t attend in protest. As per AS, a Real Madrid source has stated that Real Madrid feel ‘disrespected’ by UEFA and France Football, organisers of the award, for the snub as they believed that if Vinicius wasn’t handed the award, it should’ve gone to his team-mate Dani Carvajal.
