France Football has recently announced the final results for the 2024 Ballon d’Or voting, sparking a fresh wave of debate within the sports world, especially among Real Madrid fans. The absence of the Brazilian star Vinícius Junior from the winner’s spot fueled heated discussions, leading Real Madrid to take a bold step by boycotting the awards ceremony.

As detailed in a report by L’Équipe, Vinícius finished in second place, just behind Spain’s Rodri, a key player for Manchester City. Rodri’s accomplishments this year include leading his team to victory in the English Premier League and securing the UEFA Nations League title with Spain.

This slim margin has left Real Madrid fans disappointed, prompting questions about the selection criteria and the decision to overlook Vinícius’s impressive season performance.

The Ballon d’Or 2024 remains a hot topic in football circles, with divided opinions among supporters and critics alike. This year’s award season is shaping up to be one of the most controversial in the trophy’s history.
