For some reason, no one took the stage to accept the award.
The 2024 Ballon d’Or ceremony celebrates the best players and clubs at the Théâtre Châtelet in Paris.
Real Madrid won the Best Club of the Year nomination. At the end of the 2023/24 season, Andrei Lunin’s team became the champion of Spain, winner of the Champions League and Spanish Super Cup.
Real Madrid is the Men’s Club of The Year!

But not a single Real Madrid representative took to the stage to collect the award. This happened after the Madrid club decided to boycott the Ballon d’Or ceremony.
The organizers and hosts of the ceremony were not embarrassed and immediately moved on to the next part of the evening, not expecting anyone to show up.
We remind you that the online text broadcast is available on ISPORT, which will allow you to follow the events of the 2024 Ballon d’Or ceremony.
