La Liga president Javier Tebas has slammed Real Madrid players following their absence from the recent Ballon d’Or ceremony.

Real Madrid players decided to abscond the award ceremony, upon hint that Vinicius Jr won’t be the recipient of the award.

Rodri was named as the eventual winner, much to the fury of Madrid faithful, and Tebas has slammed the act.

“The position is incomprehensible. It was a childish attitude, a hot one, call it whatever you want,” said Tebas.

Tebas added: “Questioning France Football and an award that has been going on for many years and saying that UEFA has influenced not to give it to Vinicius is a lack of chivalry.”

He further stated: “It’s a supremacist attitude, it seems that everything should revolve around them.”
