Barcelona president Joan Laporta explained in detail Real Madrid's boycott of the Ballon d'Or ceremony. The Madrid club chose to miss the Ballon d'Or ceremony both last year and this year. The reason for this decision was that they saw their player, Vinicius Junior, not win the trophy last year. This year, PSG forward Ousmane Dembélé won the Ballon d'Or award.
Joan Laporta shared her thoughts on the matter: "What decision Real Madrid makes is their right. We care about Barcelona and always respect the candidates and organizers, so we participate in the ceremonies," he said.
Laporta also commented on how he understands sports. He emphasized that the main rule of sports is to win and lose: "This is how we understand sports. You can win, you can lose. You also need to know how to lose. Fortunately, we will win more and lose less," said the Barcelona president.
These words highlighted Laporta's club's attitude towards sports and their respect for the organization and candidates through participation in ceremonies. In his opinion, Barcelona's overall standing and victories demonstrate their professionalism and confidence today.
