Deserved. Classy acceptance:

"Today is not a victory for me, it is for Spanish football, for so many players who have not won it and have deserved it, like [Andres] Iniesta, Xavi [Hernandez], Iker [Casillas], Sergio Busquets, so many others. It is for Spanish football and for the figure of the midfielder."

Surely Madrid will implode soon just like during the Galacticos. There are many players who dream to be the top dog in their squad and only one spot for it. The club only adds fuel to the fire when they make such a big deal out of a pretty much meaningless award like this. They should have done the opposite. Play it down and point to the team titles they have won a lot of in the current era as the barometer of football glory. Instead, they acted like clowns and are fostering unhealthy ego battles in their own team.

Perez is getting bored of running a normal football team and starts to spoil the broth just like in 00s.

Just in from AS. Madrid will be wearing black armbands vs Valencia in solidarity with the victims of the Ballon d'Or disaster.

They are also considering a petition for Tebas to be allowed to hold a moment of silence before the match.
Lol this is something Porque would write

I predict Bellingham will be the first one to jump ship in the future.

Despite being a bit of a narcisitic prick, I think he will realize first if Galacticos 2.0 implosion starts happening.

They have always been entitled cunts. This Bdor shitshow is one of the best examples of the mentality of that club. No class, no sportsmanship, just the entitled cunt behaviour.
Barca of recent years started going in that direction and maybe a financial meltdown and club mentality reset was the best thing to happen in the long run.

Ballon D'or yesterday just confirmed a few things.

They're two clubs who sit at the top of world football.

One is a classy club, who sometimes shot themselves in their own foot, which has been the only thing preventing them from completely dominating football, for decades now.

The other is an entitled little bitch, who is so use to everything/everyone in Spanish football bending to accommodate them, that they act like a teenager at the first sign of someone telling them no.

They just did what they always do in Spain, just now on a European stage.
I mean, they won numerous matches and titles due to referee "mistakes", yet they are the one club that complains all the time about refereeing.

Honestly I wish we could have faced Madrid during some of their recent Champions League winning runs, we would have put a stop to some of them.
All these other big European teams are useless against Madrid and just fold whenever they play them.
