What I didn't like was Rodri going around with the Ballon d'Or. I see it as an act of provocation For me, he never deserved the Ballon d'Or. For me, he's a player who is at a very low level Compared to players like Vini and the others. Sometimes I think they gave him the Ballon d'Or out of pity, because it's very easy for him to be left lying on the ground when Vino or anyone else Dribbles past him. So for me, he shouldn't have shown it off. That really pissed off Vini and all the Madrid players. I think it's a very inappropriate act. Sometimes a team deserves to be given a beating for how it's been, even though football isn't about merit, but about who scores the goals.

What do you think, does it matter in this angle? The board selects their winner knowing fully well how these odds comes higher in tension. Real Madrid and Manchester City had everything to dominate the league, they're the main team eligible to win major titles and coming in better for good shapes. Everyone made their choice when it comes to Ballon d'Or. We all feels special about our nominated favorite and expect them to win, some won and some was not selected. Rodri was nominated alongside Vinicius Jr and Jude Bellingham. These were the main candidates to win but looking at the very edge, one could simply noticed the divergence of this whole space.

Real Madrid key frontline, Vinicius Jr was main candidate and he was undoubtedly to be winner of the Ballon d'Or but his rival beats him to win it. Really a disappointing result in France but the Brazilian and the rest of his teammates was absent, this scenario does pulls some strings.
