‘Everyone laughed at Real Madrid not going to the Ballon d’Or when it was Vinicius Jr or Ancelotti not picking up the manager of the year, the whole team, that was embarrassing for a club like Real Madrid just because they haven’t won it in one season, someone else won the Ballon d’Or.
Jamie Carragher has called Manchester City supporters ‘ridiculous’ over their banner which mocked Vinicius Jr before their side’s 3-2 defeat to Real Madrid in the Champions League.
- UEFA Champions League 2024/25 League Knockout Play-off First Leg] City must now overturn their 3-2 defeat on aggregate at the Bernabeu next Wednesday in order to reach the last-16 phase, where they would play either Atletico Madrid or Bayer Leverkusen.
Top-level footballers, I know Real Madrid acted like babies not going there [to the Ballon d’Or ceremony] but you act like the proper club.
You know what, if I was a Man City player… if I was coming out and say Steven Gerrard had won the Ballon d’Or and we were playing Real Madrid and he’d beaten one of their players, that’d annoy me if I was a Liverpool player.
