Real Madrid set to snub Ballon d'Or due to Vinicius Junior omission

Real Madrid are reportedly set to boycott the Ballon d’Or ceremony after Vinicius Junior was surprisingly omitted from the 30-man shortlist.

Marca, a Madrid-based newspaper, claims that the club is furious with the decision and has decided to make a statement by not attending the event.

Vinicius has been one of the most impressive players in the world this season, helping Real Madrid win the Champions League and La Liga. He was expected to be one of the favorites for the Ballon d'Or, but his omission from the shortlist has come as a shock.

Real Madrid's decision to boycott the Ballon d'Or is a bold move. The Ballon d'Or is one of the most prestigious awards in football, and it is a major honor for players to be nominated. However, Real Madrid are clearly unhappy with the decision to omit Vinicius from the shortlist, and they are determined to make their feelings known.

It is unclear how FIFA will react to Real Madrid's decision. FIFA is responsible for organizing the Ballon d'Or, and it is possible that they will take action against the club. However, it is also possible that FIFA will simply ignore Real Madrid's boycott and continue with the ceremony as planned.

The Ballon d'Or ceremony is scheduled to take place on October 17th in Paris. It will be interesting to see if Real Madrid follow through on their threat to boycott the event. If they do, it will be a major blow to the prestige of the Ballon d'Or.
