Balloon d的Or vs Classico: a high-voltage evening
There was supposed to be a great winner Monday night, but there will finally be two. Or rather two big events that clash. On one side, the Ballon d'Or ceremony, a red carpet, world stars, a penthouse at the Théâtre du Châtelet in Paris. On the other hand, an incandescent Classico, PSG – OM, moved because of the storm that swept south this Sunday night. Two worlds, two atmospheres, but the same time slot: 8pm for the match, 9pm for the ceremony.
An inappropriate appointment that changes everything
The game was to be played this Sunday. But the weather talked, and he slipped on Monday night. Except on Mondays, it's been the square reserved for the Grandma of Balloon Gold for months. In other words, football fans will have to turn into funambules: one eye on Paris and the other on Marseille.
For broadcasters and fans alike, it's a puzzle. We zap between Canal and the team, juggle between rhinestone and sweat. But at the bottom, it may also be that, the essence of football: an excess of emotions, an overflowing calendar, an overdose that makes you smile.
An evening that divides fans
In bars, it's going to be a happy chaos. Who chooses what? Some swear only by the field, unable to zap during a Classico. Others want to vibrate in front of the trophies and speeches, to see if the Balloon of Gold will stay in the hands of a Frenchman or those of youth. And then there will be those who will try the big gap, smartphone in one hand, remote control in the other.
For Marseille, this coincidence is almost cruel. As if the Vélodrome were to share its fire with another scene. For Paris, it is a luxury: to be everywhere, all the time, on all the posters.
Two shows, one football planet
Monday night, the weather won't spoil anything. You will simply have to choose its poison: the Golden Balloon Theatre or the Bubbling of the Vélodrome. In any case, the football planet will hold its breath. And maybe the story will remember this Monday as a unique evening, where the projectors lit at the same time on two scenes, at two rhythms, but with one passion.
In any case, some players and leaders of the Parisian club have already returned to the capital to attend the ceremony, like Ousmane Dembélé or Désiré Doué, both injured.
So, Ballon d'Or or Classico? Costume or crampons? The real mordus already know the answer: both, of course.
