According to COPE, the head coach of the "whites," Carlo Ancelotti, personally decided to refuse the trip to Paris. Despite Ancelotti receiving the "Coach of the Year" award, he chose to support Vinicius Junior, which led to the absence of "Real" representatives at the ceremony.

It is worth noting that just a few days before the event, it was expected that Vinicius would win, and the player himself was confident in that outcome.
