Carolina Calvagni Opens Up About Traumatic Experience in France

In a recent interview with the Argentine media outlet, Carolina Calvagni, wife of Lyon footballer Nicolas Tagliafico, spoke out about the distressing experiences she has faced since relocating to France. She described the period as one of the most traumatic times in her life, further detailing incidents that have left her feeling unsafe and isolated.

Speaking about the same, Calvagni shared her deep sense of insecurity, revealing that thieves have repeatedly targeted their home. “The first time, Nico scared the burglars away. The second time, I was alone because he had a match. It’s one of the most traumatic experiences I’ve lived through. Especially since I was alone in France with no one to call or turn to while Nico was playing,”

Overcome with emotion, she explained her decision to leave France, saying, “France has become a torture for me. That’s why I’ve been seen a lot in the Netherlands, where we still have a house. I know many people didn’t understand why I live far from him (Nicolas Tagliafico). Well, this is the reason.”

These statements have drawn attention to the personal challenges faced by families of high-profile athletes, who sometimes contend with safety concerns and the pressures of living abroad.

Real Madrid and Barcelona Femeni Honoured at Ballon d’Or Awards

Meanwhile, at the Ballon d’Or Awards Ceremony held at the Châtelet Theatre in Paris, Real Madrid was honoured as the top men’s football club. In the women’s category, Barcelona Femeni earned the distinction of best team. Club President Joan Laporta initially accepted the award before handing it over to the players, who later took the stage.

Barcelona Femeni achieved a historic quadruple, claiming victories in the UEFA Women’s Champions League, the Spanish Super Cup, the League title, and the Copa de la Reina. On the other hand, Real Madrid celebrated a successful season with titles in the UEFA Champions League, La Liga, and the Spanish Super Cup. However, the club opted not to attend the ceremony, so no representatives were present to accept the award.
