"We won our Ballon d'Or on June 1st." Carlo Ancelotti on the Ballon d'Or award
Manchester City midfielder Rodri won the Ballon d'Or, but Real Madrid were left dissatisfied with this outcome, believing Vinicius should have won. The "Los Blancos" coach commented on the situation.
Details: Carlo Ancelotti congratulated Rodri on his victory and remarked that they had won their own Ballon d'Or on June 1, referring to their UEFA Champions League final win.
Quote: "Congratulations to the one who won the Ballon d'Or, but that's in the past. We won our Ballon d'Or on June 1. Our ‘Ballon d'Or’ was the Champions League that we won in London," said Ancelotti.
He was also asked if Vinicius was saddened by not winning. According to the Italian, the Brazilian is saddened not by the Ballon d'Or outcome, but by the events in Valencia.
Reminder: We recently reported that Vinicius is going through a difficult time after not receiving the Ballon d'Or. Moreover, he might consider moving to another club.
On a side note, Real Madrid's latest La Liga match was postponed. Spain was hit by Storm Dana, the worst in recent years, which has caused widespread destruction and flooding, especially in the regions of Valencia and Albacete.
