Following Real Madrid: Following Real Madrid’s decision to boycott the 2024 Ballon d’Or Award ceremony that took place at the Theatre du Chatelet in Paris on Monday due to star forward Vinicus Jr missing out on the honour, Manchester City head coach Pep Guardiola refrained from making any comments on the team’s decision claiming it was up to them to make a decision.
"It's up to them. If they want to congratulate you, that's fine. If not, that's fine as well. At Manchester City, we are not here to judge other clubs on what they decide they have to do. Of course, if [Vinicius] won, it would have been more than deserved,” said Guardiola at a press conference on Tuesday.
"I congratulate Carlo Ancelotti for winning the best manager in the world, but it was [Gian Piero] Gasperini or Luis de la Fuente. Of course, they deserved it, but people voted and Carlo also deserved it,” he said.
