She was one of the non-sporting celebrity stars at the 2024 Ballon d’Or gala in Paris, and allegiances were clear.
Natalie Portman is an actress loved the world over. From her hugely popular role as Queen Amidala in Star Wars, to that of Thor’s scientist love interest, Jane Foster, and then darker characters in the likes of Closer, the no 43-year-old has a strong following.
Natalie Portman’s Barcelona link
But on the back of Monday night‘s illustrious Ballon d’Or ceremony, she may have lost a few fans, those of a Real Madrid persuasion.
As can be seen in the above clip, while taking pictures with Barcelona’s latest superstar, Lamine Yamal, after the gala, Portman held up four fingers and gave a cheeky glance towards the player.
Maybe she was innocently reminding the 17-year-old that she was a multi-award winner herself, with an Oscar, a BAFTA and two Golden Globes already in her trophy cabinet. Of course that‘s not what she was meaning. It was a clear reference to Barça’s 4-0 drubbing of Los Blancos at the weekend, a gesture that young Yamal, who scored in that game, certainly enjoyed.

How is Madrid mightier than Barca? was it not Barca record you were trying to catch up with in Laliga that Barcelona stopped you just recently? did you not see Barca woman winning an award yesterday and Yamal taking home golden boy? Did you not know that last two season Barcelona's sporting arm won all the League? ranging from men football, women football, basket ball, hand ball etc? go check very well. Don't you know that Barca has more ballon de'or than Madrid or did not know that most Madrid legend came from Barca? like Louis Figo, Ronaldo delima etc I can't talk more. the things just dey plenty
