Conspicuously, no one from Real Madrid, including Florentino Pérez, Carlo Ancelotti, Jude Bellingham, and Vinicius Jr., attended the event. Scheduled to depart Madrid at 3 p.m. local time, their absence, especially that of Vinicius, sparked waves of speculation as news rapidly spread that he would not be receiving the accolade.
The Ballon d’Or voting process involves a panel of 100 journalists representing the top 100 FIFA-ranked nations, who select a winner from a 30-player shortlist. They also vote for the Yashin Trophy (for the best goalkeeper), Men’s Coach of the Year, and Men’s Club of the Year. The women’s Ballon d’Or is similarly chosen from a 30-player shortlist, with votes cast by journalists from the top 50 nations in the FIFA women’s ranking.
