Real Madrid officially turns around with the Golden Ball, which can realize UEFA’s strong ability.
An “earthquake” just happened in the football world when Real Madrid publicly announced the Golden Ball award of French football. This is not only a disappointment when Vinicius Junior did not win the title but also a strong move by “Los Blancos” to protest against UEFA and France Football magazine.
From one of the top clubs advising on building reputation for the Golden Ball, Real Madrid has now returned the award entirely. The football team’s leadership believes that the Golden Ball has lost its true value and become a tool serving non-transparent goals, according to Marca.
The statement from Real Madrid’s Valdebebas headquarters shows clear determination: they no longer want to have any connection with France Football’s award. This was not a knee-jerk reaction, but a carefully thought-out decision that marks the end of the relationship between the club and this prestigious award-giving organization.
Initially, Vinicius Junior and Real Madrid planned to attend the ceremony in Paris (France), but the plan was canceled when the Brazilian player was informed that he was not the winner. Vinicius and the club made this unexpected decision, marking Real Madrid’s clear stance on dissatisfaction with the award.
Real Madrid believes that UEFA intervened and turned the Golden Ball into a “deep game”, becoming a tool to serve political interests instead of honoring real talent. The decision to refuse the award is a way for Real Madrid to protect the honor and values of the club. This move is not aimed at Rodri personally – the winner of the award – but rather targets the entire award system and issues that Real Madrid considers lack of transparency and unfairness.
With this tactical statement, Real Madrid chooses its own path, despite its museum connections. This move will certainly cause a lot of controversy in the football community, raising big questions about the future and fairness of Golden Ball entertainment.
Will France Football and UEFA change or continue to alienate clubs like Real Madrid? Only time can tell.
