The World Finding Out Mats Hummels Is Now Dating Model Nicola Cavanis Was Easily The Biggest Win During The Ballon d'Or Ceremony
We had some controversy in the soccer world yesterday. Everyone thought Vini would win the Ballon d'Or before it was leaked that Rodri was the winner. That led to Real Madrid boycotting the event in support of Vini. Hilarious move, especially when they won club of the year and a bunch of other awards. Just leave it all sitting there, but, hey, support your guy. I say all that because one tweet from the official Ballon d'Or account had everyone talking about something else.
Mats Hummels (finished 29th in the voting) showing up with his new model girlfriend Nicola Cavanis. Genius to get them walking the red carpet. Switch the topic and control the narrative. Sure, there are plenty of pieces out there about Madrid skipping the event and if Vini should have won, etc. But right next to it is Mats Hummels and Nicola Cavanis and I know which one is getting clicked more.
Just goes to show you being 29th isn't the worst spot to be. Hummels has had a hell of a career and it just keeps getting better. Controversy? Not anymore. It was Mats Hummels night.
