Rodri - The 2024 Ballon d'Or Winner! (Pg 131)

[WRicko]

It’s mad that we are probably the most hated top club in the world right now 115 etc and have generally not had the praise we deserve yet random people are all complaining that Rodri won rather than Vinicius

 

[dobingsdobber]

Gets better and better

Think Sid vicious Jr, might blame Kyle Walker for not winning it?

If Rodri played for any other club it would not have been a issue . the disrespect that City and there players are shown has gone to a new level. And I am not just disrespect from Real just everyone why isnt Real lambasted for there behavior in every media

Jealousy, hypocrisy and arrogance naturally go together for some clubs where entitlement is at their very core.

The football world now has the evidence in front of their very eyes.

Actually lost a lot of respect for Madrid. Always knew their players were spoilt little brats but I always thought Perez and Ancelotti had class and grace. Ah well, fuck em.

Huge for city on a branding level. Even a blue like me had started to think no city player could win a ballon dor at city because of media bias toward legacy clubs. Now there is no ambition a player can’t achieve at city.

Can’t hurt the haaland contract talks

Perez is a fascist racist dinosaur.

Ancelotti is a decent guy but will be working to orders !!

Is it not a serious blow to RM?

I know their sense of entitlement is paramount but now their pull on players may be threatened, particularly those they want to buy with this award being the bait they offer.

Presumably this "we are not going where we are not respected" jibe means unless they get their players to win this award they will not be attending in future.

Not sure that Franco was ever described as being " classy " so not sure exactly why we expect Real Madrid to be so either.

Clearly they are not.
