Should we start to prepare your dose of popcorn, ten days from the 2025 Golden Ball ceremony? On September 22 at the Châtelet Theater, we should not surprise the Supreme Individual Coronal of a sixth French player in history, Ousmane Dembélé. But what makes us smile in advance is to imagine a new total absence of the Real Madrid delegation, a year after the allocation of the trophy to the Spanish middle Rodri (Manchester City).
Either a crime of lese majesty in the eyes of the Real galaxy, which pushed hard for the title of Vinicius junior, or even secondly by Dani Carvajal (true story) If it was absolutely necessary to value Euro 2024 won by Roja according to the election criteria. No member of the Merengue club had therefore presented itself, on October 28, 2024 at Châtelet, offering us on a set of a burning media day.
“We are not going where we are not respected”
There, at the end of a 2024-2025 season without the slightest prestigious title won by Real Madrid (neither Champions League, Liga, nor even King Cup or Club World Cup), one could have imagined that a touch of elegance would be back on the part of the supposed largest club in the world. But the prospect of attending a duel Ousmane Dembélé-Lamine Yamal for this Ballon d’Or is obviously not carrying out Florentino Perez and co.
Relations between France Football And the direction of Real did not warn an iota in 2025, after Markand the strong trend is a new boycott of the Parisian festivities. We remember the 2024 posture “We are not going where we are not respected”, and there has been a trace of any communication from Real Madrid for the Ballon d’Or 2025 since then to simply congratulate his players appointed on social networks or on the club channel.
Will Kylian Mbappé follow the delirium of his employer?
Mark reports that a delegation of the French Organization of the Ballon d’Or has made this sense in Madrid in recent months to try to appease relations with Madrid representatives. But no rabibochet would be in sight according to the Spanish media, hence the risks +++ of total absence of Real, despite seven nominated at the various trophies of the evening.
Our file on the Ballon d’Or
In this list, we count Caroline Weir players (female golden ball), Linda Caicedo (Kopa Trophy for Best Hope), the recruit Dean Huijsen (Kopa Trophy), Thibaut Courtois (Yachine Trophy for the best goalkeeper), and for the prestigious male golden ball Vinicius Jr, Jude Bellingham… and Kylian Mbappé. After the widespread psychodrama of the 2024 edition, will the captain of the Blues follow the instructions/delirium of his employer to the letter, at the risk of tarnishing his image a little more in France by missing the consecration of his friend “Dembouz”?
