Real Madrid made headlines by opting not to attend the Ballon d’Or award ceremony in Paris, citing a perceived lack of respect from UEFA as the reason for their absence.
In a widely circulated statement, the club expressed disappointment that their player, Vinicius Junior, was not recognized as the winner. They argued that if Vinicius wasn’t selected, then Dani Carvajal should have been a strong contender for the prestigious award.
Real Madrid asserted, “If the award criteria do not recognize Vinicius as the winner, then they should point to Carvajal as the winner. Since that was not the case, it is evident that the Ballon d’Or-UEFA does not respect Real Madrid. Therefore, Real Madrid does not go where it is not respected.”
