The Italian was speaking in a press conference ahead of Real Madrid’s UEFA Champions League clash against AC Milan. Ancelotti was asked what was the mood of Vinicius Jnr and what he felt about Rodro being declared the winner.
What did Carlo Ancelotti say about the Ballon d’Or?
He said,
“Congrats to who won the Ballon d’Or, but it’s the past. We won our Ballon d’Or on June 1st. Our Ballon d’Or was the Champions League we won in London. Vinicius Jr is sad but not because of the Ballon d’Or. He is sad because of what’s happening in Valencia”.
The Ballon d’Or ceremony sparked a lot of controversy among most Real Madrid supporters as they felt that Vinicius Jr should have won the award instead of Rodri.
