Real Madrid Football Club made headlines when they chose not to attend the Ballon d'Or award ceremony in Paris, France. The reason behind their decision was revealed to be their perception of lack of respect from the Union of European Football Association (UEFA).
The club's statement, which was widely circulated by news outlets, emphasized their disappointment in the award criteria not recognizing their player, Vinicius Junior, as the winner. They argued that if Vinicius was not chosen, then their player Dani Carvajal should have been considered for the prestigious award.
Real Madrid firmly stated, "If the award criteria doesn't give it to Vinicius as the winner, then those same criteria should point to Carvajal as the winner. As this was not the case, it is clear that Ballon d'Or-UEFA does not respect Real Madrid. And Real Madrid does not go where it is not respected."
This bold stance taken by the football club sparked a range of reactions from the general public, with many expressing supports for Real Madrid and believing that UEFA may have unjustly overlooked their players. The controversy surrounding their absence from the award ceremony continued to stir discussions and debates across various social media platforms.
