Spanish radio station "COPE" reported that Real Madrid has decided not to address the topic of this year's Ballon d'Or, despite the official announcement of the nominees by France Football magazine.

According to the report, the club has not published any congratulations for its nominated stars or comments through its official social media accounts, nor has it addressed the topic through its own television channel, a notable step that has raised questions among fans and the media.

France Football announced the 30 nominees for the Ballon d'Or, which included Real Madrid's trio Vinícius Júnior, Jude Bellingham, and Kylian Mbappé.

It seems that this decision is related to what happened last year when Brazilian star Vinícius Júnior lost the Ballon d'Or to Manchester City's Rodri.
