Nobody in the real Madrid much less its president, Fiorentino Perezwho was the one who gave the order, last Monday at noon, to cancel the flight of White House headed for Pariswith 50 guests on board to attend the event Golden Ball Galahe knew how to measure the scale of the disaster it would mean the so-called best club in the world the decision of ‘be superior’with which he boycotted such a prestigious ceremony, where the white club would be chosen as best team, from August 2023 to July 2024; your coach, Carlo Ancelotti, the best coach in the world Yes Vinicius Júnior, Jude Bellingham and Dani Carvajal the three best footballers of the moment, who, yes, behind the real winner, the Spanish Rodrigo ‘Rodri’ Hernandezwinner of the highest trophy.
In the last few hours, the world of football has destroyed, shaken and defamed the history, prestige, name, philosophy, image, credibility and lyrics of the anthem of Real Madrid. The world of football believes that Florentino Pérez has taken his fight, his anger, his fight, his confrontation and his fight with UEFA, to extremes that neither make sense nor, obviously, can bring anything good, neither now nor in the future. , to the presiding entity.
“It is said that Real Madrid is a big club and Real Madrid itself wants it to be said that it is, but Real Madrid is a small, very small club! Their boycott of the Ballon d’Or gala is absolutely pathetic”
“It is said that Real Madrid is a great club and Real Madrid itself wants it to be said that it is,” commented the former French coach. Raymond Domenech, manager of the ‘blue’ team from 2004 to 2010 and 2006 World Cup finalist. “But Real Madrid is a small club, very small! His boycott of the Ballon d’Or gala is absolutely pathetic. They showed disrespect for football, for the other participants in the party and for the winners. It’s downright repulsive.”
There are too many who recognize that Rodri’s triumph is the triumph of football over scorers and, above all, a just victory and, perhaps, even necessary for the life of the beautiful game. Everyone agrees that, at club level, ‘Vini’ is invincible, having won the Champions League and the championship, but at national level it was a disaster, as Brazil was eliminated in the quarter-finals of the Copa América . But Rodri won the Premier League, much more popular than La Liga, and fell to the Champions League in the only match he lost and, on penalties, in the entire season.

From there, that is, from an (almost) technical draw in terms of football, in terms of results, as he well underlined Transport by handin the SER, “the third concept appears that the 100 journalists who vote must use and which is point 3 of the tournament rules, where ‘fair play’, values and behavior on and off the pitch come into play. And then, Vinicius, it’s not that he loses with Rodri, it’s that he loses with anyone.”
The diary ‘Liberation’ The Frenchman is very surprised that Real Madrid decided not to participate in the gala “because if the UEFA Ballon d’Or does not respect Real Madrid for not awarding the Ballon d’Or to either Vinicius or Carvajal, Real Madrid decides not to be where it is not respected.” as he wrote Alfredo Relañoformer director of the newspaper ‘As’ and one of the 100 journalists who participated in the vote, “Real Madrid has ‘mourinised’ itself”, an expression repeated in several European newspapers. And yes, as you pointed out Juan CastanoIn the COPING“Madrid’s problem is that no one raises their hand to tell Forentino Pérez that he has made a mistake.”
“In football terms there can be equality, the problem arises when point 3 of the vote appears, where the 100 journalists who vote must take into account ‘fair play’, values and behavior on and off the pitch. And, lo and behold, Vinicius, it’s not that he loses to Rodri, it’s that he loses to anyone.”
“Real Madrid would have been awarded as the best, as well as its coach, and three of the top four places in the voting would have been occupied by its players. Was it really necessary for Real Madrid to offend everyone in a competition? “Dream night? “, he writes Fabio LucariIn ‘La Gazzetta dello Sport’. “The award for Rodri is the award that recalls the Ballon d’Ors of Modric, Suárez and Mattahus. Rodri is the symbol, the reference, the key that provokes Spanish football which plays the most fun and simple football we have seen, the classic football we have always fallen in love with. “Spain defeated Italy, Germany, France and England, putting technique and instinct before tactical obsession.”
Paolo CondòFrom ‘The Republic’representing Italy in the Ballon d’Or voting, he is also very harsh, dismissive and punitive towards Real Madrid and its boycott of the gala. “Real Madrid’s absence is difficult to explain. Maybe it’s because of his arrogance. Best team, world recognition for Ancelotti, three players in the top four, is it worth slamming the door with indignation over these results? Staying in Madrid was a serious fall in style, yes” Condò, who recalls that Rodri is Modric, Iniesta, Xavi, Pirlo…, finally recalls that the Golden Ball is not the Golden Shoe “It is the ideal moment for reward Rodri, someone who recovers his precious polyphony for football.”
“Real Madrid’s absence is difficult to explain. Maybe it’s because of his arrogance. Best team, world recognition for Ancelotti, three players in the top four, is it worth slamming the door with indignation over these results? Staying in Madrid was a serious fall in style.”
Stefano MontefioriIn ‘The Corriere della Sera’we remember that Vinicio responded to Gavi’s little hand with his four fingers (goal) open, with a contemptuous gesture “It doesn’t matter, I’ll win the Ballon d’Or on Monday”. Well you didn’t win it, ironically Montefiori, who annihilates Real Madrid at the beginning of his text: “68 editions of the Ballon d’Or were needed for the most sensational boycott to take place, that of Real Madrid, the biggest club of the world. Vinicius did not win and the Real Madrid jet did not take off (…) it is clear that the boycott is one more chapter of the bad relationship that, since 2021, when Real Madrid led the Super League, it has had with UEFA. “

“The case of Vinicius, predestined to win this year and defeated by the Spaniard Rodri, takes on sensational tones because it is a protest never seen before”, he writes. ‘The 19th Century’. “A boycott of a club that, like Barça, has 12 Ballon d’Ors, that is, four more than Juve or Mian (…) Florentino Pérez, the president of the Galacticos, shows very little respect for football when he decides to leave has grounded the plane on which, among others, Carlo Ancelotti, the best coach in the world, was travelling.”
“It took 68 editions of the Ballon d’Or for the most sensational boycott to take place, that of Real Madrid, the biggest club in the world. Vinicius didn’t win and the Real Madrid jet didn’t take off.”
Alessandro GrandesoIn ‘La Gazzetta’praises that, with the awarding of the Ballon d’Or to Rodri, “the football that is at the service of the team has won, the normality represented by a footballer without tattoos, nor strange haircuts and without even an Instagram account has won. ” And to strengthen this thesis, Grandeso recalls from Rodri’s acceptance speech: “Mine is the story of a normal child who, despite the clichés that exist, managed to reach the top. It is the victory of the midfielder, of a player like Iniesta and many others who, in the past, have always lived in the shadows.”
To complete the rain of criticism and contempt on Real Madrid’s position and the more than controversial decision of Florentino Pérez to leave 50 people who would have participated in the Ballon d’Or gala in Paris behind, today it appeared in ‘La Gazzetta’, an interview with Javier Tebas, president of La Liga, in which he recognizes that “the boycott of Real Madrid is a fall in style due to a lack of respect”. The La Liga president also states that “Real Madrid made a mistake in every sense” and confesses that “it cannot be that victimhood prevailed over the great celebration of Spanish football, led by Rodri and Aitana”.
“The boycott of Real Madrid is a lack of style and a lack of respect. “Real Madrid made a mistake in every sense, it cannot be that victimhood prevailed over the great party of Spanish football, led by Rodri and Aitana.”
It is clear, well, in reality it is already happening in some friendly media, that Real Madrid and also Vinicius Júnior himself, whose entourage has already circulated in the Madrid media that he is “destroyed, because he continues to feel misunderstood”, that the The White House will have to try to put the situation back on track because, for the moment, as we can see, its boycott has outraged the world of football, and consequently also its highest officials, but the decision taken by the club chaired by Pérez. As Stefano Montefiori points out, in the prestigious Italian newspaper ‘Il Corriere della Sera’, we had to wait for “68 editions of the Ballon d’Or” to see an act of these proportions and, above all, clearly incomprehensible.
