Real Madrid refused to attend the 2024 Balon d’Or Gala when they heard that Manchester City’s Spanish midfielder Rodri was going to lift the ultimate. The Los Blancos decision divided opinions by shunning the gala. Vinicius Jnr finished second while Jude Bellingham finished third in the 2024 Balon d’or.
Mohammed Salah has been in an imperial form in the current campaign with many tipping him to win the 2025 Balon d’or.
However, Sam Allardyce, former England, West Ham, Bolton Wanderers. Everton and Leeds United manager has claimed that the Egyptian star Salah has “no chance” of winning the Ballon d’Or this year as the organizers will want to make amends for Real Madrid’s no-show at the last ceremony.
“There’s no chance. It’ll be Vinicius Jr because of what Real Madrid did last year. They will be s*** themselves because they won’t turn up again if one of them doesn’t win it, so one of them will win it. You might as well have a bet on it now,” Allardyce dared fans.
The Balon d’Or is something that sends teams to another level. The big teams have always wanted their stars to win and Real Madrid would want one of their big boys to win the 2025 edition.
