The UEFA released a statement addressing last week’s Ballon d’Or controversy with Real Madrid. Madrid refused to attend the ceremony after they heard that Manchester City player Rodri beat Vinicius Junior for the title. Many people accused the UEFA of discrimination, which are claims they are now rejecting: A statement, published by Sport, read: “We categorically deny the claims circulating about UEFA’s alleged comments on the Ballon d’Or result. “Neither UEFA nor its president have made any statements or comments on the results of the award selection. Such reports are totally unfounded and do not reflect reality.” UEFA states that it may sue “any party involved in the dissemination of these false statements”.

Bayern Munich chief Max Eberl says Alphonso Davies might still stay with the team. Davies is a potential player for Barcelona and Manchester United, as his contract comes to an end this term. Real Madrid have also shown interest in him, despite Carlo Ancelotti supporting Ferland Mendy.  Eberl, who is the sporting director of Munich, insists that Davies staying is not out of the question.  “Is Alphonso Davies signing a new contract? The chances are there,” he told ranSPORT.

Barcelona defender Pau Cubarsi has said he wants to stick to one team. He has a contract with Barca that will end in the summer of 2027.  Curbasi agrees that his goal is to stay with the Blaugrana for life.  “I would love to play my whole career in Barcelona, ​​like what Carles Puyol and other legends did,” said Cubarsi. The young centre-back has played 38 matches for Barca and has formed an alliance with Iñigo Martínez.
