LaLiga president Javier Tebas slams Real Madrid as 'CHILDISH' for skipping the Ballon d'Or ceremony over Vinicius Jr snub - and questions why the team thinks 'everything revolves around them'

Real Madrid have been denounced again by the LaLiga president for skipping the Ballon d'Or ceremony in Paris on Monday night.

Javier Tebas has branded Madrid 'childish', 'hotheaded', and 'supremacist' in a staggering invective against the world's richest football club.

Madrid refused to attend the glitzy awards gala after finding out in advance that their forward Vinicius Junior had not won the Ballon d'Or, with the Brazilian coming second to Manchester City's Rodri.

It has now snowballed into a bitter dispute, with Vini Jr blaming his rejection on the fact he has stood up to racism in the game and Madrid claiming they were 'not respected'.
