Key Incident at the Ballon d’Or Ceremony

Earlier today, Laporta discussed a notable confrontation that took place during the 2023 Ballon d’Or awards.

He recounted, “There was a moment during the ceremony when I approached him to say hello, but he indicated that we should avoid any interaction.”

Reconciliation Attempts
