Hummels says Real Madrid had an attitude like… Trump

Central compared the behavior of the ‘merengues’ with that of the former US president and candidate for office in the next elections

Mats Hummels, Roma central defender, criticized Real Madrid’s boycott of the Ballon d’Or, after the award given by France Football did not distinguish Vinícius Jr., but rather Rodri, Manchester City midfielder.

“Using the words ‘lack of respect’ because you didn’t win an election is a bit like Trump”, said the German international defender, who came 29th in the race for the award, on the Alleine ist schwer podcast.

Hummels said that it would also be «deserved» if a merengue player won the award, but that it is «disrespectful» not to recognize the work of other athletes.
