The rift between Cristiano Ronaldo and FIFA President Sepp Blatter might lead to Ronaldo skipping the Ballon d’Or presentation ceremony on January 13. A columnist from the Spanish show Punto Pelota claimed to have discussed the matter with Ronaldo, stating that he has had no desire to attend the ceremony for the past two years. The columnist suggested that Blatter’s recent jokes against Ronaldo may have convinced him to stay home.
If Ronaldo decides not to attend, it could be a response to the perceived lack of respect from Blatter. However, Real Madrid is reportedly keen on ensuring Ronaldo’s presence at the ceremony, and if he changes his mind, it would likely be out of respect for the club. Despite Blatter’s apology to Ronaldo and Real Madrid after his comments, the situation remains tense.
