Real Madrid leaders would have hidden their doubts regarding the results of the 2024 Ballon d'Or from Vinicius.
Exactly a week ago, the Spaniard Rodri was crowned Ballon d'Or 2024, during the trophy ceremony organized at the Théâtre du Châtelet in Paris. An outcome which surprised more than one, while
Vinicius had been announced for several weeks as the big winner by the Spanish media.
Disappointed after learning on Monday morning that neither Vincius nor Dani Carvajal would be named Ballon d'Or, the leaders of Real Madrid decided to boycott the ceremony, thus canceling the arrival of its delegation in Paris. An act of protest widely criticized, even by the Madrid press.
Real did not want to upset Vinicius before the Clasico
Yes, but in reality, the decision-makers at the White House already had strong suspicions about the final result of this 2024 Ballon d'Or from the Friday preceding the ceremony, according to the journalist from Cadena SER, Anton Meana. But according to the latter, the club decided not to share its doubts with Vinicius.
It must be said that the next day, Real Madrid welcomed FC Barcelona to Santiago-Bernabéu for the first Clasico of the season (0-4 defeat for the Merengue). And Florentino Perez and his teams did not want to disrupt their number 7 before this big meeting. The Brazilian finally found out last Monday, at the same time as everyone else.
