Real Madrid’s frustration over Vinicius not receiving the Ballon d’Or has intensified, leading the club to cancel its planned trip to the ceremony in Paris tonight. This news, leaked earlier today, sparked significant media attention worldwide, reflecting the anticipation surrounding the event. Following Rodri’s win, tensions rose within Real Madrid, particularly from president Florentino Perez, who has warned of potential repercussions.
According to the Spanish newspaper “Defensa Central,” Florentino Perez has opted to boycott the France Football awards, deciding not to send any players to the ceremony in the future. The report also mentioned that Perez reached out to Vinicius to offer support, telling him, “You are the best for all of us, and I will never abandon you. Enjoy, the response is coming.”
Additionally, the newspaper stated that Real Madrid is considering punitive measures against UEFA and is re-evaluating its stance on the Super League, which has become a key focus for Perez. He reportedly believes Vinicius lost the award due to the Super League initiative and has expressed to those close to him that he will not abandon the project, regardless of the consequences.
