Last Monday, Rodri won the 2024 Ballon d’Or to everyone’s surprise. Indeed, many expected to see Vinicius Jr lift this trophy after his great season at Real Madrid. But the Brazilian was not the lucky one. Upset, Florentino Pérez canceled the Madrid delegation’s trip to Paris after having confirmation that Vini Jr and Dani Carvajal would not be crowned. A week after this enormous controversy, the Cadena SER reveals new elements behind the scenes of this file.

Thus, the Iberian media, through the voice of journalist Antón Meana, reveals that Real Madrid had strong suspicions regarding the identity of the winner on the Friday preceding the Ballon d’Or ceremony. But in order not to disturb Vinicius Jr before the Clasico against Barça, the club would have decided to remain silent and hide this from everyone. The Brazilian’s entourage, who suspected that something was up, was finally informed on Monday, as were the other personalities of the club who were invited to the trip.
