Controversy

Despite winning the Men’s Club of the Year award and their manager, Carlo Ancelotti, receiving the Men's Johan Cruyff Trophy, Real Madrid boycotted the Ballon d’Or ceremony in protest against Vinícius Júnior not being the anticipated winner of the award, which they believed he deserved. Renowned media outlets such as Marca, ESPN FC, and SPORTbible had previously reported through their sources that he was expected to win, and Nike had even planned to launch the "Ballon d'Or Boots" for him in celebration of the achievement.[17]

Fabrizio Romano, a popular football journalist, confirmed on his Twitter at 1:56 AM on October 28, 2024, that "no one from Real Madrid [would] attend the Ballon d’Or ceremony in Paris. No Ancelotti, no Bellingham, no Florentino Pérez… to support Vinícius Jr."[18][19]
