Real Madrid's Boycott, Rodri's Destiny 

In the build-up to the marquee event, Real Madrid opted not to attend the 2024 Ballon d'Or ceremony held at the Théâtre du Châtelet in Paris. Key figures such as Carlo Ancelotti, Florentino Pérez, Jude Bellingham, and Dani Carvajal, alongside their teammate and fellow Ballon d'Or contender, have also chosen to forgo the event. Notably, the Brazilian forward has decided not to participate after the announcement that Rodri will receive the prestigious award.

Rodri made history by becoming the first Manchester City footballer to win the prestigious Ballon d'Or award for 2024. The announcement took place during the ceremony on Monday at the Théâtre du Châtelet in Paris. Remarkably, he is only the third player to achieve this honour in the past 16 years, joining the ranks of esteemed legends Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo. Rodri's exploits in the Euros and Premier League helped him win the title. Besides being the best midfielder in the world, Rodri was also the player of the tournament in Euros 2024, where he led a young Spanish side to European Glory.
