Controversy

Real Madrid boycotted the award ceremony, in protest against Vinícius Júnior not being the anticipated winner of the Ballon d'Or, which they believed he deserved.[17][18] Media outlets like Marca, ESPN FC, and SPORTbible had previously reported through their sources that Vinícius Júnior was expected to win, and Nike had even planned to launch the "Ballon d'Or Boots" for him to celebrate him winning the Ballon d'Or.[19]
