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

[vmsuhail]

Only one reason they ain’t showing up.. Rodri.. Thoroughly deserves it .. Let’s hope sense prevails, unlike last year when they gave it Messi, who was poor at PSG then went to a pub league .. Haaland was robbed..!

Messi had already won it several times, there was no need to give him another one for whatever "emotional" reasons. Rodri winning it would bring some credibility back.

If Rodri has won it, and if nobody from Madrid attends, then they might just find they've screwed any possible chance they ever had of signing him in future.

Fuck them, it shouldn't be hard to show respect to a great player even if it's not the result they wanted.

A spanish player from madrid at that

What time and what channel is this award thingy on then?

I think it's L'equipe's YouTube channel at 7:45PM GMT

Well if this a mass Wum by the press it’s still not Steve Penk spousal arousal levels.

Exactly.

If he was ever going to leave us I would have expected Real ahead of Barca or anyone else. If their behaviour is true though, not now.

He's ours now until he retires. :-)

We already should have a ballon d’Or winner at the club when Haaland helped us win the treble. I can see why Messi won it but still…

Rodri fully deserves it for being the best player over many seasons. His goal won us the champions league and he has always stepped up when required.

The award is blatant favouritism at times but it will do wonders for the club and hopefully keep Rodri well into his 30s.

He is an Atleti guy though, i doubt he would have gone to madrid

So many clueless Real fans out there, it’s unreal... I’m reading the forums, and it’s just insane how blind they are. They’re actually calling Rodri “average” and stuff? It’s just pathetic at this point. Most Real fans really are a different breed. Rodri deserves the Ballon d’Or, and I seriously hope he gets it just to set things straight.

The entailment with Madrid over ballon D’or goes a few years back now . They moaned like fuck with ballon d’ors Messi won over Ronaldo. They want to be the prestigious club where players win every award & with the Madrid name you should win it. It’s used to help the bring the best players over the world. Well guess what it’s finally fucking changing

Real Madrid, the club, and their fans, appear to me, like the worst bits of all of United, Liverpool and Arsenal rolled into one and multiplied by ten.

All that arrogance, entitlement, thinking they’re royalty, better than everyone else, everyone else is irrelevant of the Redshirts but on another level altogether.

There is no equivalent club to Madrid in England. Success and fan size is shared out much more widely in England. Apart from Atlético Madrid fans, all other Castillians support Real Madrid as well as their club. They’re like a Castillian national team.

Imagine having to live beside them like Atlético Madrid fans. Barcelona and Athleic Bilbao (Real Madrid v Athletic Bilbao is the original ‘El Classico’, and Atlético Madrid exist off the back of it and have their club name, their red+white stripes and club badge as a copy of Athletic Bilbao), hate Madrid but they don’t have to live in the same city like Atlético Madrid fans do.

I bet they’re a fucking nightmare. Like this ****:



^this was after we hammered them 4-0 and Valverde said it was the best atmosphere he’d ever played in. Proper bitter Madridiot having a proper Mardid meltdown outside the ground because he couldn’t take it.
