Vinicius had been widely tipped to win the men\u2019s award after an outstanding season, but Real Madrid delegation cancelled their trip to the Paris ceremony at the last minute when the \u201cleaked results\u201d of the prestigious award showed Rodri had received the most votes ahead of the Brazilian and Jude Bellingham.<\/p>\n
The 24-year-old, who was named Champions League player of the year after playing a starring role in Real Madrid\u2019s 15th European Cup, took to Twitter\/X and posted \u201cI\u2019ll do it 10 times if I have to. They\u2019re not ready.\u201d He did not congratulate Rodri on on winning the Ballon d\u2019Or for the first time, with the influential midfielder recognised for his role in Spain\u2019s Euro 2024 triumph. <\/p>\n

Real Madrid scrap Ballon d\u2019Or broadcast and cancel 50-person trip<\/h3>\n\n
The result of the Ballon d\u2019or was such as a shock to Real Madrid that they were preparing to send a party of 50 to the ceremony in Paris, reports the Independent\u2019s Miguel Delaney. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n
\n
The club had also planned a five-hour broadcast for their official television station but club president Florentino Perez immediately scrapped the show on finding out Vinicius Jr was second.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Real Madrid hit out against \u2018football politics’ <\/h3>\n\n
Real Madrid\u2019s furious reaction to the Ballon \u2018Or result has continued, with Eduardo Camavinga posting in support of his team-mate Vinicius Jr and hitting out against \u201cfootball politics\u201d. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\u201cMy brother you are the best player in the world and no award can say otherwise. Love you my bro,\u201d Camavinga posted, alongside a photo of himself and the Brazil forward. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n
Vinicius Junior deserved to win the Ballon d\u2019Or – his problem was that so did Rodri<\/h3>\n\n
Although Rodri became just the second Spanish men\u2019s player to lift the Ballon d\u2019Or, the country\u2019s premier club was barely anywhere to be seen. Despite more than one award going to the club or individuals within, nobody representing Real Madrid appeared in Paris as a dismal few days for the European champions got worse. At Manchester City, that knowledge added to the satisfaction of a worthy first ever club winner. The relationship between the clubs, especially at that media level, is poor.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
\n
It all illustrates the increasing intrigue around an award that is supposed to be so singular, in rewarding football\u2019s dominant individual player in a calendar year. And then some.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Vinicius Junior took to social media to react after finishing second in the Ballon d\u2019Or voting behind Manchester City\u2019s Rodri – and rather than any kind of congratulations to the Spanish star, vowed to repeat his own campaign \u201cten times\u201d over if he needed to, to earn recognition with the game\u2019s top individual prize.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
\n
The Brazilian forward had been seen as the favourite to win for most of the build-up towards the France Football ceremony in Paris on Monday night, but shortly beforehand, rumours emerged that Rodri had in fact claimed top spot in voting.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Harry Kane and Kylian Mbappe scored 52 goals apiece so shared the Gerd Muller Trophy. Just Kane collected it of course.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
\n
“Thank you to my club Bayern Munich, all my staff, team-mates, for helping me score all the goals I scored,” the England captain said. “It’s an honour to take this award from a club legend (Karl-Heinz Rummenigge), thank you very much.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Ballon d’Or LIVE<\/h3>\n\n
Bit of a clean sweep for Spanish football tonight!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Rodri became the third person not named Lionel Messi or Cristiano Ronaldo to claim the award since 2008. It was the first time since 2003 in which neither Messi nor Ronaldo made the final 30-man list of nominees.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Portugal’s Ronaldo, who has won the award five times and was the last Premier League player to win it in 2008, also failed to receive a nomination last year after moving to Saudi Arabia. Messi, who won for a record eighth time in 2023, missed out despite Argentina’s Copa America triumph.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Rodri has only lost a match once in the past 18 months – City’s surprise FA Cup final defeat by Manchester United last season.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Earlier, Rodri’s national teammate Lamine Yamal won the Kopa Trophy for the best Under-21 player by helping Spain to a perfect Euro 2024 campaign, winning all seven games en route to lifting the trophy.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Bonmati won the women’s Ballon d’Or for the second consecutive year while compatriot Jennifer Hermoso was awarded the Socrates Award for her role in the fight for women’s rights in football and her courageous stance against sexism in sport.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
<\/p>\n
\n
Ballon d’Or LIVE<\/h3>\n\n
Real Madrid had somewhat signalled Rodri’s success before the ceremony began as their delegation cancelled their trip to the French capital.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
\n
In a statement reported by Spanish newspaper AS, the club said: “If the award criteria doesn’t give it to Vinicius as the winner, then those same criteria should point to (Dani) Carvajal as the winner.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
\n
“As this was not the case, it is clear that Ballon d’Or does not respect Real Madrid. Real Madrid does not go where it is not respected.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Yet Madrid finished the night with two awards and a share of a third, and with four players in the top six in the final ranking for the men’s Ballon d’Or – Vinicius, Bellingham, Carvajal and Kylian Mbappe, who finished sixth in the voting, one place behind Rodri’s team-mate Erling Haaland.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

“Incredible night for me,” said Rodri, who is out for the season after injuring his ACL last month and arrived on crutches to the ceremony. “One of my key things is I always try to improve every game.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
\n
“I just want to say thank you again to the people who recognize my value in the game,” he said. “When I was a kid I never thought of winning the Ballon d’Or, but in the last years I’ve been playing the highest level.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
\n
“He is a player completely without ego, whose performance level over a very long period of time has been exceptional,” Man City’s director of football Txiki Begiristain said. “The consistency he has shown is the result of hard work and dedication.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
