Real Madrid ready to permanently boycott the Ballon d'Or?

Vinicius Jr.'s victory in The Best award awarded by FIFA marked a symbolic turning point for Real Madrid. After years of implicit rivalry with the Ballon d'Or, the management of the Madrid club, in unison with its star striker, seems to have made a strong decision: no longer recognize the importance of the France Football trophy, as the says the daily Mark. This repositioning comes in a context where Real believes that the criteria for awarding the Ballon d'Or have too often ignored its own players, including decisive performances, like those of Vinicius last season.

Real Madrid pleads for The Best

This strategy, far from being improvised, was reinforced by the celebration orchestrated in Doha for The Best. With an overwhelming score of votes (617 to 373 for other finalist Rodri), Vinicius received massive support from his peers. The club, in collaboration with FIFA, took advantage of this recognition to establish its influence on a global scale and to highlight sporting values ​​considered more authentic. From now on, for Real Madrid, the main thing is to make its players shine on the pitch, without being distracted by trophies perceived as political.
