Barcelona Takes a Dig at Real Madrid’s Ballon d’Or Boycott as Lamine Yamal Wins Kopa Trophy

After Vinicius Jr.’s alleged Ballon d’Or snub, Real Madrid decided to skip the Ballon d’Or presentation, which Barcelona couldn’t help but make fun of. Even though Vinicius was the favorite after leading Los Blancos to a La Liga and Champions League double, Real Madrid decided to skip the event after finding out that Rodri of Manchester City would win the prize.

Barcelona’s Reaction on Social Media

“We are truly honored to be here. Thank you for the kind and kind greeting, Ballon d’Or.”

The playful remark draws attention to Barcelona’s divergent attendance at the event, when Lamine Yamal received the Kopa Trophy for outstanding young player.

Barcelona’s lighthearted statement highlights the two teams’ amicable rivalry as they celebrate the triumph of their young player while Madrid is not present.
