Real Madrid have reportedly decided to boycott the Ballon d'Or ceremony scheduled for Monday night, amid claims that Vinicius Jr.

will not be receiving the award.The Brazilian forward, who had been a strong contender for the prestigious honour, is now facing competition from Manchester City midfielder Rodri, who has reportedly been informed that he will take home the trophy.Rodri, currently sidelined with an injury, arrived in Paris on crutches, with journalists sharing updates on social media suggesting that he is the likely winner.

While Vinicius Jr.

enjoyed a remarkable season, leading Real Madrid to triumphs in both the Champions League and La Liga, it appears Rodri's success in winning Euro 2024 with Spain and the Premier League has shifted the spotlight.This has prompted Real Madrid to withdraw from the event, with no representatives flying to Paris.
