Attention Shifts To The Ballon d’Or Ceremony
The echoes of Valencia's 2-1 victory over Granada had barely faded when the footballing world turned its focus to Paris, where the prestigious Ballon d'Or ceremony was set to take centre stage.
The Ceremony had been postponed by a few days due to some problems but had finally begun attracting attention after the appointed day began approaching.
While Valencia's victory remained a hot topic, the upcoming awards night and its accompanying glamour quickly became the dominant narrative across sports outlets.
Adding to the buzz was the inclusion of Valencia's 15-year-old sensation, Izan, on the shortlist for the Kopa Trophy, awarded annually to the best U21 player in the world.
A monumental piece of news skipped the ears of the footballing world but a few noticed it.
Izan once again shattered another record to become the youngest player ever to be included in the Kopa Trophy final shortlist.
