Rodri scooped the award ahead of Vinícius Jr, prompting all of the Real Madrid entourage to boycott the ceremony in protest.

Manchester City fans made sure to remind Real Madrid that Rodri won the Ballon d'Or over Vinícius Júnior before the two sides clashed in the Champions League.

Looking on the bright side of life, however, many Twitter users joked that Barca might finally have things go their way with the referees if they wear the white of Real Madrid in the near future.
