After refusing to go to Paris for the Ballon d'Or ceremony, Real Madrid was compared to Donald Trump by one of the finalist players.
Critics are raining down on Real Madrid. The Spanish club made a decision that did not please people by boycotting the Ballon d'Or ceremony, where Rodri was rewarded to the detriment of Vinicius Jr.
Described as bad losers, Real Madrid was compared to a certain Donald Trump by Mats Hummels, the German defender of AS Roma. “ Use the words 'lack of respect' while we didn't win an election, it has a Donald Trump sideregretted the 2014 world champion.
Unfortunately, this is disrespectful to others. This is a bad thing. »
Real Madrid wronged by the Ballon d'Or, really?
Hummels, who was in Paris for the Ballon d'Or ceremony (he finished 29th), refers to the 2020 American presidential election where Donald Trump and his supporters cried foul after their defeat, blaming the vote to be faked.
Real Madrid believe they were poorly treated by the Ballon d'Or even though they were voted best club of the year, while Carlo Ancelotti received the best coach trophy, not forgetting the Gerd Müller trophy won by Kylian Mbappé ( with Harry Kane). For the Ballon d'Or, Real Madrid was simply served by a scattering of votes between Vinicius (2nd), Jude Bellingham (3rd), Dani Carvajal (4th), Mbappé (6th) and Toni Kroos (9th), who benefited Rodri.
And as a reminder, Real Madrid is the club that has won the Ballon d'Or the most times (12), tied with Barça. Cristiano Ronaldo, Luka Modric and Karim Benzema have lifted the prestigious trophy in recent years.
