According to a revelation from Spain, Vinicius Junior was informed, before the announcement of the result, that he would not be the 2024 Ballon d'Or. A potential leak which is causing debate.
On October 28, the 2024 Ballon d'Or award ceremony was held. An evening during which Rodri was crowned in front of Vinicius Junior, Jude Bellingham and Dani Carvajal. But if the Manchester City midfielder was present to receive his prize, the three Real Madrid players were however absent. In fact, no representative of the Merengue club delegation was at the Châtelet theater. A boycott deplored by observers, but which also raised questions. Did Real Madrid know about the result? In Spain, information tends to support this theory.
According to a revelation delivered Tuesday by Reliefa leak would have allowed Vinicius Junior to know that he would not be Ballon d'Or. The Spanish media reported that one of those responsible for
France Footballthe organizing newspaper of this award ceremony, informed “the environment of one of the players of the Madrid first team” that the Brazilian had not won. Not using the conditional and presenting its information as certainty, Relief continued by adding that the player in question immediately informed Real Madrid who dug deeper on their side and were able to ensure the veracity of the thing thanks to “other sources”.
The anger of President Perez
Vinicius was, however, determined to go to Paris before this announcement. Several of his companions were on their way to the airport to board the Brazilian international's private jet, but their cars turned around and everyone went home. Still according to the media, a good part of the Madrid delegation still wanted to go to Paris but the anger of President Florentino Perez was such that the order not to make the trip was respected by everyone.
Whatever the case and if it still remains to be proven, this information impacts the new organization that had been decided France Football from this 2024 edition of the Ballon d'Or, namely that none of the candidates and their entourages would be informed of the result before this famous ceremony. It is therefore a major leak which exists, according to the statements of
Relief.
