Why did Real Madrid boycott the Ballon d'Or?
It all came down to Vini Jr's snub for the men's Ballon d'Or, which he lost out to Rodri.
Despite the club winning 2024 Men's Club of the Year, and former boss Carlo Ancelotti winning 2024 Coach of the Year, Real's snub continues.
The club's board believed Vini Jr should have won the award and argue the voting system for the awards doesn't value players properly.
It's left a sour taste between both parties, which could be why Real will continue their boycott.
However there is a practicality factor - Los Blancos are set to travel to Levante for a La Liga fixture on September 23, which could also be why the side won't travel to Paris.
Real Madrid failed to win silverware last season, which could mean their players aren't necessarily in the top running to win the award. This could also add to their continued withdrawal
Their four nominees however have been given permission by the board to attend the ceremony if they wish.
