Madrid apparently rejected Bellingham's Ballon d'Or candidature, even though he stepped up particularly in Vinicius Jr.'s absence because of injury. According to Diario AS, Dani Carvajal would have been a qualified winner if Vinicius had t been selected. According to a Real Madrid spokesperson, he told above-mentioned source: 

“If award criteria do t proclaim Vinicius winner, those same criteria must proclaim Carvajal winner. As this has t been case, it is obvious that Ballon d'Or and UEFA do t respect Real Madrid. And Real Madrid is t where it is t respected.”

Bellingham, who placed third in Ballon d'Or rankings, will be keen to prove his value to squad throughout current season.
