Sevilla mercilessly made fun of Real Madrid after it was announced that none of their players would be attending the Ballon d’Or due to the news that their best player, Vinicius Jr, had been snubbed.

Vinicius Jr, who was supposed to receive the primary trophy at the annual ceremony, was just about to board a chartered jet with his teammates, coaching staff and family to attend what was sure to be a spectacular occasion for the Galacticos.
Mail Online notes that Real Madrid opted to cancel the trip to the glamorous gala, which was hosted at the Theatre du Chatelet after it was revealed today that Manchester City Rodri had actually won.
‘No player and no club knows the winner of this year’s Ballon d’Or yet,’ the Ballon d’Or organizers urged on Monday afternoon before the event.
Sevilla has now spoken out about the situation and used the occasion to make an insulting jab at their La Liga rivals.
Their official X account said: ‘BREAKING: Admin will NOT travel to Paris as Admin has been told they will NOT win the Ballon d’Or.’
Real Madrid’s delegation has canceled their trip to Paris, according to a report from RMC earlier today that stated that “Real president Florentino Perez is furious.”
This is the case even though Los Blancos are also expected to win Club of the Year.
