Real Madrid’s Displeasure with Rodri Winning the 2024 Ballon d’Or Sparks Controversy
Real Madrid was left frustrated and disappointed when Rodri was crowned the winner of the 2024 Ballon d’Or on October 28. The club believed that players like Vinicius Jr. or Dani Carvajal were more deserving of the prestigious award. In a bold move to showcase their discontent, the Merengues decided to boycott the ceremony in Paris, further straining their relationship with France Football.
Reports have emerged that France Football is now looking to mend fences with Real Madrid. According to journalist Josep Pedrerol, the French publication is seeking a meeting with Florentino Pérez, the president of Real Madrid, to address any misunderstandings surrounding the controversial award decision.
This development is significant, considering Pedrerol’s close ties to the Real Madrid president, adding credibility to the potential reconciliation talks between the two parties.
