Man City fans taunt Real Madrid and Vinicius Junior over Ballon d’Or

Associated Press  

MANCHESTER, England — Manchester City fans taunted Real Madrid and Vinicius Junior ahead of their Champions League playoff on Tuesday by unfurling a giant banner of Rodri kissing the Ballon d’Or. “Stop crying your heart out” read a message on the banner inside Etihad Stadium in reference to a hit record by Manchester rock band Oasis. On Monday, Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti defended the club’s Ballon d’Or no-show. But I think we thought, and I thought, that Rodrigo deserved to win the year before.” City manager Pep Guardiola had said earlier that there was no bad blood between the rivals after the controversy — and defender Ruben Dias also downplayed it.
