Ballon d'Or turmoil
Because of Vinicius: Finnish reporter resigns
Two weeks after the Ballon d'Or was awarded, the fuss surrounding it has still not died down. Now a member of the jury has resigned.
As reported, Spain's European champion Rodri had received the trophy, while top favorite Vinicius Junior was left empty-handed. When Real found out about this a few hours before the gala, the club canceled its flight to Paris and boycotted the event.
Now Finnish sports journalist Juha Kanerva has resigned as a member of the Ballon d'Or jury. He was one of three journalists who did not vote Vinicius Junior into their top ten. This information was posted by "Madrid Zone" on X.
Finn forgot about Vinicius
Kanerva wrote on X that he had made a mistake and would therefore resign from the jury. The Finn had completely forgotten about Vinicius when drawing up the top ten, which is why he is now taking the consequences.
