Unlike what happened in the gala of golden ball last October where Karim Benzema was crowned, the real Madrid could hardly attend the awards gala The Best to be delivered this afternoon in Paris. Only Emilio Butragueño, the club’s director of institutional relations, will attend.
The reason, the white team says, is the massive calendar and the importance of rest for the players but, in the background, it shows Brandthere is an event that no Real Madrid player will be the main character of the gala because, after the World Cup in Qatar, the award for the best player will go to Leo Messi instead of for Karim Benzema. In the same way, the best goalkeeper is for Emiliano ‘Dibu’ Martinez and not for Thibaut Courtois.
To all this, we must add the tense relationship that exists in real Madrid with FIFA, an ally of UEFA in the dispute with super league which affects the club’s friendship with football’s highest institution.
In this way, the real Madrid will appreciate any kind of recognition to its players but will not do it publicly, making its position about this kind of prize clear.
