UEFA have confirmed the potential for legal action against individuals involved in false quotes attributed to president Aleksander Ceferin.
The update relates to the fall out following the Ballon d’Or after Vinicius Junior controversially missed out on the award.
Alongside the shock in the Spanish capital over the call from France Football, Los Blancos opted for a full boycott of the ceremony in Paris, despite widespread criticism of their actions.
As the debate rolls on, rumours on social media grew, with claims of Ceferin stating the decision was justified, as he joins the critics of Vinicius Jr and Real Madrid.
However, no firm source was connected to the quotes, which Ceferin has reportedly denied came from him or UEFA.
Europe’s governing body have now issued a statement on the matter as they look to clear the air and move on from controversy surrounding their 57-year-old chief.
“We categorically deny claims circulating about UEFA’s alleged comments on the Ballon d’Or. Neither UEFA nor its president made any statements on the result or the selection for the award”, it read.
“Such reports are totally unfounded and do not reflect reality.”
Why all this fus Rodry deserved it more than him when Ronaldo, modriich,benzema,won it it was fair now cause vinicius didn’t win it, it’s rigged Madrid wants to dominnate Worst club in the world to win it vinicius has to work hard on is attitude he didn’t even play for his country pretending he’s injured.
I don’t agree with you bro
when messi won it for the first time what did he do for his country
Please write a correct sentences before criticism ViniJr.
You’re deceiving you without seeing the reality, Rodri is not even in the class of Vini. This is daylight robbery
You don’t know what you are saying. What aspect of football does Rodri has that qualifies him for the award. This is football, leave Vini’s attitude and give him the award. Its a total shame and reap off.
Which attitude are you referring to? The attitude of being black? Where were these racist in 2018 – 2021 when vini was struggling? But the moment he started shining then he has a bad attitude.. its sickening 🤢🤢🤢
Your comment is unjust this award has been there for a while now, this is not a first time where madrid player didn’t win it, a lot won and madrid never complained, they only reacted for this one. We all know there’s more to it this wasn’t about the best player but politics, if they didn’t want to give it to a real madrid player,they could have given it to Lautaro Martinez he deserved it more than Rodri, there’s nothing that he has done which was of classy to show he is performing better than everyone else
More so this is not a Nobel Peace price award but for the best player simple
Are you even a real football fan or just a plastic City fan?👀
They are right because they won ucl and their performance was excemplarly. They were the ones who knocked out Manchester city in the fight for superior.
This means even a person who was injured the whole season could also win.
Data shows Vini played more games compared to Rodri raising questions of how he won it if not for biases over RM. We expected two either top two of RM nobody else but now it turned out ugly
Rodriguez doesn’t deserve the award it’s Vini fishy deals
Rodri deserves it more than anyone Vini will never wins it because of his stupid behaviour Even Messi who’s the greatest of all time humble nd respect his opponent how much more u poor Brazilian let him go to hell if u look at the statistics it means Rodri was far far better than him
Point of correction the best of all time is CR7 not Messi. And on the issue of Vini Jnr, he deserved it more than anyone else because individually, he outperformed everyone
With all due respect, saying “the best of all time is CR7 not Messi” clearly shows you do not know football, and argue based on emotions and preferences, without stats or facts, so you should stay away from such discussions, please.
See u calling someone poor as if u earn more than him
We are talking about Best football player, this is not a Nobel Peace price award but for the best player simple, you are sounding like a clown,
The prize has always been a scam. Nothing new. How else can you describe it If Thierry Henry retired without winning it despite his goal scoring records
Squarely I blame the person who leaked the news before the ceremony. That’s why Madrid never send any representation. It has never happened since this award was introduced. Fifa follow up and investigate this for all parties to be contented please
It’s called racism
Vini is more exceptional than Rodri.Vini is a complete player not only for RMD but even for his country regardless of Rodri helped his country on euro 2024.
France is more corrupted now and they played a fowel game to avoid Vini because there issue is on Mpape being taken to Madrid only ..
Please reverse it as soon as Possible..we can watch Vini not Rodri noooo
The credibility of UEFA and the BALLON DOR ORGANISERS is at stake. For me they cannot convince me about the genuineness of Rodri winning the award over VINICIUS JR.
They have shown that :
(1) They are Racist.
(2) They can bury the truth if it favours certain races
(3) They think that they are the only ones that can organise football competitions because they know that they are cheating the various clubs under UEFA financially.
(
What a shameful award.
I remember when they had to do re-draw when they found out that Real Madrid were drawn in the weakest group.
Presently this new UEFA champions league format was brought about because they think Real Madrid has won the most champions league trophy
It’s a same that the whole of European clubs and UEFA hates Real madrid.
FOOLISHNESS IN HIGH PLACES.
I think this ballo dor proved to everyone that white people are a complete resisem because rodrie not caulfield for it they just favor him because of his race and
Most important thing about vinu plz is behaving very bad plz he need to change is attitude cz it explained that 100 countries vote for the best player do you think beside Brazilian who can vote for a stupid man like vinu no one love him I always think he have mental sickness
Let us look forward and forget this is gone let us focus on next candidate
Real Madrid undoubtedly is a wonderful club with a strong winning mentality, spirit & pride of success have set them out for destruction, can any one imagine the kind of anger raging at the club from the top, Peres the president fighting the coach Ancelotti subtilly, the coach against his players not responding to various formations, the players fighting themselves for spaces .
Madrid is gradually slipping into crisis for decline though self induced,the individual player’s ego especially among the front line eg Bellingham Rodyrigo & Mpanppe with their destruction and football lesson they received from their archrival Barcelona is ego brucing before the Balon dor award so they are fighting from both front of fustration.
Vinni, Rodri & Bellingham are good for the awards I’ll vote for Rodri for leading his club to win the league & 🇪🇸 Spain to carry Uero nation cup, Vinni won the league & champions league to tie brake these two, we evaluate their disciplinary issues Vinni falls very short, always in the eye of storm.
To be fair there wasn’t much between Rodri and Vini.
Both won two major trophies:
Vini – League, Champions League
Rodri – League, Euros
Rodri however was MVP of the Euros and went 74 games without losing which is ridiculous.
Vini contributed 37 goals/assists as a forward compared to Rodri’s 23 goals/assists as a defensive midfielder.
Vini was probably at a disadvantage because he’ll have lost points to Bellingham who also had standout performances for Real Madrid and lost the Euros final to Rodri’s Spain.
Now if Vini had been putting up 75+ goals/assists like Messi and Ronaldo were during the years they were winning the Balon’Dor over players who won International accolades/MVP awards then he might have a case.
Vinicius is being hated not that he is the best now but because of his black skin
For how long will they stop this racism
Only God knows
