Carlo Ancelotti and three of his Real Madrid players immediately reacted to the 2024 Ballon d'Or award announcement after Vinicius Jr was beaten to the prize by Rodri .
But there was uproar from a Real Madrid perspective as the club decided to boycott the event completely having heard rumblings that Vinicius had not won. Nobody was there to represent Los Blancos, meaning there was only a brief congratulations for their Team of the Year win and Carlo Ancelotti did not collect his prize for the Men's Johan Cruyff trophy handed out to the best coach.The Italian took to Instagram to reference his victory but made sure to reference Vinicius.
Prior to Rodri being confirmed as the winner, Toni Kroos had labelled the 24-year-old "The best" on Instagram, with Vinicius replying, "I love you Antonio!!".
