Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 is more important to soccer star Neymar than the prestigious soccer event “Ballon d’Or.” Therefore, he preferred to play games on the evening of the event rather than watch other soccer players receive awards.
On December 3, 2018, the prestigious soccer award Ballon d’Or was once again awarded in Paris. This award is given only to the best soccer players of the year. However, the Brazilian soccer star Neymar was again without a chance.
What did Neymar do? Since he wouldn’t have won anyway, Neymar didn’t even attend the event, even though he also lives in Paris and wouldn’t have had to travel far. Instead, he preferred to stay home, fired up his console, and played a few casual rounds of Call of Duty: Black Ops 4, which he streamed live on his Twitch channel.
Who actually won? In the end, Neymar stayed away from the event, as did the last winners of the trophy, Ronaldo and Messi. Instead, the down-to-earth young Croatian Luka Modrić and the Norwegian Ada Hegerberg won.
Fun Fact: The Fortnite streamer Ninja is a more influential athlete than Neymar.
