UEFA political conspiracy against Real Madrid? France Football explains why the
Rodri

Controversy over awarding the Ballon d'Or to Manchester City midfielder Rodri and not to Real Madrid forward Vinicius has flared up badly.

The Brazilian media called it a scandal and Real Madrid clearly expressed their undying anger. "It's politics in football," Vin's teammate Camavinga summed up the whole situation.

On the night of the ceremony in Paris, the editor-in-chief of France Football magazine, which founded the Ballon d'Or in 1956 and now distributes it in cooperation with UEFA, explained why the award was given to the Citizens' Spanish midfielder and not the Brazilian player. "It was a narrow victory - said Vincent Garcia -. Vinicius obviously suffered due to the presence of Bellingham and Carvajal in the top five, as they mathematically took some points away from him. This also shows Real's season, where the team has relied on 3-4 players, and the jury split the votes between them, favoring City midfielder Rodri."

Vinicius' teammates deducted points

In this way, Vinicius lost votes due to 'internal competition'. The presence of other Real players in the list of 30 candidates - in addition to the two mentioned above, who occupy the third and fourth places, also included Kroos (ninth), Valverde (17th) and Rudiger (22nd ti) – seemed to deduct points from Vinicius, as some voters wanted to credit Blanco's outstanding season and saw some other player as a better fit. In such a close race, these points were crucial.

Clarification of the editor-in-chief of France Football

The editor-in-chief of France Football assured the newspaper L'Equipe that the secret of the final ranking of the "Ball d'Or 2024" - and the winner - was carefully guarded until before the ceremony: "Nobody knew, neither at Real Madrid nor at City. The emotions of the Spaniard Rodri on stage are the best answer. He was not aware of anything. This puts an end to any speculation that we may have warned one or the other." He added that the pressure to know the preliminary result was great: "All the favorite clubs insisted on getting the information".

Big pressure from Real to know the winner

Garcia also commented on the absence of Real Madrid at the ceremony: no representative - out of fifty originally planned - showed up on Monday evening at the Theater du Chatelet in Paris. "We were very clear with them and all the other clubs - he said about the mandatory secrecy of the results -. This year the winners would not be notified in advance. I thought everyone had accepted it, but at the last moment, I don't know why, they wanted to change the rule. When Real Madrid made their decision, I'm not sure if it wasn't a tactical game."

"I have had a lot of pressure from Real Madrid, but as with other clubs, I have always been clear, correct and, perhaps, my silence pushed them over the edge", concluded the French journalist, saying that he was "badly surprised" by Madrid's decision to boycott the ceremony, where they won the award for the best team and Ancelotti won the "Golden Ball" for coaches. All these awards did not have a single representative of Real Madrid, an unpleasant situation any way you look at it.

UEFA conspiracy against Real Madrid?

Clarence Seedorf "throws fuel on the fire", in the wake of the "Golden Ball" controversy.

The former Real Madrid player from 1996 to 2000, with a career at Milan and Inter, intervened in the debate after the decision to award the much-coveted "France Football" trophy to the Spanish midfielder of Manchester City, champion of Europe. A surprising reaction from the 48-year-old, now a television columnist and sports commentator, in front of the microphones of "TNT Sports Brazil":

"I voted almost a year ago and I think Vinicius deserved this award." However, Seedorf did not stop there, going a little further into personal considerations and hinting at the possible existence of a conspiracy against Real Madrid and the Brazilian star:

"It seems that there is something between Real Madrid and UEFA that cannot be resolved. It's a shame, because these things have to be shared, especially for a player, at some point. I strongly underline: The problems between Real Madrid and UEFA must be separated, not affect these things. It's a shame."
