🚨🗣️ Rodri addresses the Real Madrid–Ballon d’Or controversy.
Rodri says the controversy surrounding the Ballon d’Or did not affect him at the time, because he was focused on enjoying what he described as a special moment with his family.
Rather than getting involved in the reactions from those who skipped the ceremony, Rodri chose to keep his attention on what actually mattered to him — football.
His message is clear: he doesn’t want the media narrative to become bigger than the game itself. 👀
That attitude is particularly interesting given how much debate surrounded his Ballon d’Or win and Real Madrid’s reaction. Instead of continuing the argument, Rodri appears determined to leave the controversy behind and let his football speak.
🗣️ Do you respect Rodri’s decision to stay away from the controversy, or should he have addressed Real Madrid’s reaction more directly?
