Actual Madrid will reportedly not be at Monday night’s Ballon d’Or awards present after pulling out on the final minute.
The reigning Champions League and La Liga holders are nominated for greatest membership, whereas Carlo Ancelotti is up for the newly-created greatest coach award, whereas Vinicius Jr and Jude Bellingham have each been rated among the many favourites for the lads’s award for months.
However rumours sparked by a supposed leaked checklist of the outcomes of the lads’s Ballon d’Or are claimed to angered Actual Madrid amid claims that Manchester Metropolis’s Rodri is ready to beat Vinicius Jr to the celebrated gong.
Extra particulars on Actual Madrid’s Ballon d’Or snub
Spanish outlet Marca claim that occasion co-organisers France Soccer have been unaware of Actual Madrid’s determination to not attend till they themselves broke the information. Actual Madrid had beforehand confirmed that they’d ship 50 friends to the large gala present in Paris.
Marca added on Monday afternoon: “The organisation has nonetheless not heard from Madrid, though it’s clear that the transfer by the membership has vastly disrupted the plans for organising an occasion of such magnitude.”
The report provides that in earlier years, the Ballon d’Or nominees would already know weeks upfront of the awards present whether or not they had received or not, as they’d be invited to attend an interview and picture shoot effectively upfront.
That has apparently not been the case this yr, with UEFA taking up co-organisational duties for the primary time. The organisers have as a substitute gone to nice pains to guard the outcomes of the present earlier than the occasion.
Golf equipment are stated to have been warned that this could be the case, however Actual evidently really feel they know one thing they should not.
RMC Sport journalist Fabrice Hawkins tweeted: “Vinicius Jr.’s entourage is now satisfied that he won’t be named Ballon d’Or. Everybody in Madrid has this sense.”

That was quickly followed up by another tweet: “Actual Madrid’s administrators are livid. They’re sure that Vini Jr won’t win the Ballon d’Or. Actual’s delegation stays in Spain. The journey to Paris is cancelled.”
At this stage we’re uncertain whether or not it could be funnier if Vinicius Jr truly received it or not.
