Supporters of La Liga giants Real Madrid this evening made use of the opportunity to make their grievances with UEFA very much known.
This comes after Blancos winger Vinícius Jr. missed out on the Ballon d’Or at last week’s ceremony.
After attacker Vinícius was overlooked in favour of Manchester City midfielder Rodri, the finger of blame was quickly pointed in the direction of UEFA.
European football’s governing body were this year involved in the ‘Golden Ball’ process for the very first time.
The suggestion on the part of many of a Real Madrid persuasion, in turn, was that UEFA’s board had made use of last Monday’s ceremony to punish the club for their involvement in the breakaway Super League push.
Afforded their first chance to issue a collective response on Tuesday, fans of the Spanish champions therefore took aim at UEFA in no uncertain terms.
This came by way of loud and widespread boos and whistles, upon the Champions League anthem playing ahead of Real’s showdown with AC Milan.
