Real Madrid to Skip Ballon d’Or Awards Again Amid Feud
Real Madrid is set to snub the Ballon d’Or awards again amid ongoing tensions with the competition organizers. The decision comes after Vinicius Jr was reportedly robbed of the award last year, finishing second despite an impressive season.
The club's chief has agreed to skip the ceremony for the second time, with reports indicating persistent feuds with the Ballon committee. Despite expectations for Vinicius to win last season, Manchester City's Rodri is likely to claim the award this year.
Real Madrid is initiating a formal protest, questioning the scoring process, with FIFA and UEFA involvement. The Ballon chief traveled to Spain to address the snub, but tensions remain high.
