The president of the Professional Football League, Javier Tebas, criticized Real Madrid this Tuesday for not having attended the Ballon d’Or gala held last Monday in Paris. “I don’t know where they are going, they lack elegance, we also see it in Spain […]. They should have gone to that ceremony and not questioned the system of France Football which is transparent, with 100 journalists who vote. “Madrid’s victimization makes no sense and is exaggerated,” Tebas said in an interview with the newspaper. L’Equipewhich will be published this Wednesday.
Tebas has reproached the club for boycotting the ceremony after canceling his trip to Paris at the last minute upon learning that the winner would not be his striker Vinicius. “I am a Real Madrid fan. The important values of the club are being a gentleman and shaking hands when you lose, but I think that Madrid has lost that attitude for some time,” stated the LaLiga president.
Real Madrid was chosen at the Ballon d’Or gala as the best club of last season. In addition, their coach, Carlo Ancelotti, was awarded best coach and Kylian Mbappé won the Gerd Müller trophy for being the top scorer along with Harry Kane, with a total of 52 goals.
