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

[Colin Bells Boots]

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.

A " mardy lip sulk " image would look appropriate on their club badge

Hahahahaha

Just to clarify for those that may not be aware of the full context of this, they are taking the piss out of Real Madrid.

Meanwhile here's why Vinicius Jr. stayed away

Vinicius Jr. believes fighting racism led to him missing Ballon d'Or: 'I will do it 10x' | Football News - Times of India

That didn’t take long…

How long do we think before Real Madrid begin claiming it was racism that saw Rodri win over Vini Jr?

Tend to agree. He’s the only one of that disgusting Arsenal team I have any respect for.

Agreed,seems like a decent bloke.

I mean they won team of the year, manager/coach of the year and had a player who jointly held the goalscorer award with Harry Kane (yes Mbappe did it at PSG)

I can't imagine why they are so salty over this, over the years they have had 8 different players win it for a combined number of 12 times, and Barcelona had 6 players overall win the trophy for the same amount of times.

Fuck off Madrid ! :) :)

A thoroughly deserved award to a truly great player, a player who has gone from strength to strength and got better and better with every passing game at City and with Spain. And in answer to RM's spoilt brat response it simply needs to be pointed out that not only did he win the Euros with Spain and the PL with City but also the European Super cup and the World Club Championship. A world class superstar in a world class super team.
