Real Madrid players boycott Ballon d'Or because they feel they've been disrespected by the award.
Real Madrid had planned a whole five-hour show on Real Madrid TV around the ceremony.
The club's TV show was cancelled, as was the club's chartered plane to Paris .
The winner of the award was picked by a jury member, one of 27 voters in 1987 .
Ballon d'Or voters cast their selections into some sort of secure online platform with multi-factor authentication.
Garcia also told The Times that on the day of the ceremony, he would access the servers and painstakingly write down the names of the winners and put each into the correct envelope.
Garcia says he would personally hand each envelope to the announcers himself.
