Real Madrid Boycott Ballon D'Or 2024 Because One of Their Players Didn't Win IT!

It hadn't even occurred to me that Vinicius Jr. would be in contention to win it before they made all this fuss.
It’s one for people who judge football entirely on stats. They won the CL and he scored the most goals for them, therefore he should win it, seems to be the only line of thinking. Let’s be honest, yes they beat us on penalties, but we’ve absolutely dominated them every time we’ve played them recently. Every win for them has been a smash and grab. I think that’s partly why they’re so pissed off, because for all of their good results, they know when we go head-to-head, it’s obvious who the better team is.
 
if there really is a "Frankostein club", it's Madrid. No domestic competition to speak of and a team made up of their first choice picks from around the world either bought for eye-watering sums or poached on a free. All based on a history of state sponsorship and geographical.location.

With their advantages, they should be winning the CL every year, especially with English teams having an attritional domestic league to contend with.

I think the football world outside of Madrid are rather enjoying seeing their balloon of hubris popped.
