I think it was a no brainer "in the real world" but thought that the Brazilian Rashford from Madrid would win it.
Maybe some of the idiots at fifa realised that it was losing, and would lose more credibility if they didn't give it to who deserved it....Rodders!!w
Yes.
"If the award criteria doesn't give it to Vinicius as the winner, then those same criteria should point to (Dani) Carvajal as the winner.
As this was not the case, it is clear that Ballon d'Or does not respect Real Madrid. Real Madrid does not go where it is not respected."
Oh wait. .. Have they fuck.
FYI:
For 2024, the prestigious Ballon d'Or Awards are voted on in eight categories.

Ballon d'Or: How are the winners decided?

Men's and Women's Ballon d'Or
The Ballon d'Or rewards the best male and female players in the world, without distinction of championship or nationality.
The Ballon d'Or is awarded based on three main criteria:
1) Individual performances, decisive and impressive character
2) Team performances and achievements
3) Class and fair play
The Ballon d'Or is awarded by an international jury of specialised journalists, with one representative per country, from the top 100 in the latest FIFA rankings (before the lists are published) for men and the top 50 for women.
Each juror selects ten players in descending order of merit from a list of 30 established by the editorial staff of France Football, members of the editorial staff of L'Équipe, the best juror from the previous edition – Costa Rica for the men's Ballon d'Or, South Africa for the women's Ballon d'Or – and UEFA ambassadors Luís Figo for the men's trophy and Nadine Kessler for the women's trophy.
The ten selected players are awarded 15, 12, 10, 8, 7, 5, 4, 3, 2, and 1 point respectively. The Ballon d'Or is awarded to the player with the highest number of points.
In case of a tie, the players are separated by the number of first-place votes. If the tie remains, they are separated by the number of second-place votes, then by the number of third-place votes, and so on. Any dispute arising from the voting is decided by the editor-in-chief of France Football as the organiser."
