‎Who will win the 2026 Ballon D'or? 🏆⚽

[Pearl_20]

One of the reasons why Mbappe is underrated in this award by many people is team achievements, his team didn’t win any trophy last season despite scoring highest goals in almost ok the competitions he played; and his national team France  wasn’t able to also reach the third position as they lost to England, yet, he scored more goals than Yamal in all these competitions.

Everyone have his favorite players  among these players, and all of them will bring reasons for these players to be worthy of the award because all the listed top four players are good and had impressive season across all competitions. For now, we can’t say, but I think they luckiest player will win it.

Exactly, what's affected Mbappe is club achievements. Sometimes i reason Mbappe issue having hard luck of winning champions league when playing for PSG. Since he arrived in real Madrid they where unable to win laliga for 2 seasons now even with the goals he scored putting all his efforts if they can win laliga.

Every individual have their favorite players, just as you said those 4 player's did very well. But for me since Harry kane and yamal are in first and second they should give one among them especially kane, because yamal still have all it takes to win it in times to come.

In terms of personal achievement Kylian Mbappe is qualified because of his goals prowess but when it comes to club achievements, he hasn't been able to achieve any title with Real Madrid and that is just what has affected his chances of emerging the ballon d'or favourite. Mbappe was just unfortunate at Real Madrid, if he had continued with PSG he would have won the Ballon d'or and still have 2 Champions League title to his name.

Lamine Yamal and Harry Kane are the key target for the most decorated award but Lamine Yamal stands a better chance because of individual performance and club achievement, he even achieved the World cup title with his country Spain, that's enough to win him the award.

Amidst all the controversy surrounding the Ballon d'Or, can you imagine Messi winning it? Just as a tribute because he's already retired? This would be the final blow they could deliver to the world of football, leaving everyone worse off than we can even imagine.
I'm seriously considering the possibility of Messi winning. If the Ballon d'Or is awarded for the best performance a player can achieve, Messi is still ahead of all the other candidates this year.

This could have been a possibility if Argentina had won the world cup but unfortunately for them they did not win and were second best county in the tournament. It would had been a good way to end his career but even the goat could not give Argentina a successful trophy defence but it is better that he is not among the favourites to win it, let then allow the next generation get some more recognition because it is things like this that will motivate players to put in more performance so that they can win now that they know Messi is no longer in their way to have a chance at winning. It has always been unfair to other players that Messi keeps being the favourite everytime but that is not going to happen anymore, anyone now has a fair chance at winning.

With no doubt the best player that deserves the Balloon d'or is Lamin Yamal and it should just be handed over to him, because his performance in both the club last season and country side was outstanding. Giving Rodri the award will eventually cause chaos and might feel biased, because even with his performance in the world cup, he was not able to have much playing time in the club side last season.

Yamal on the other hand Won the Laliga,  Spanish super cup, Laliga player of the season, first player ever in Laliga history to win 3 player of the month award, with so many individual awards and above all the FIFA World cup. I doubt if there is any other player that achieved more than he did to have warrant the person deserving the award than him.

I agree with this, Yamal deserves to win the Balon d'Or this year because for both his country at the world cup and international breaks, he has performed greatly and provided alot of opportunities and even in the club level, I mean we saw the match some days ago with Turkish side and we saw the performance he put into even receiving the man of the match award. Just like you said asides team trophies, he has own alot of individual trophies even this year, so he is a very strong contender for the position. I don't think Rodri should be in the conversation for this year's d'Or but we will leave it up to the journalists and coaches that will later make the vote

Talking About Kylian Mbappe, this guy really messed up by leaving PSG  seriously he would remain there and play for me seasons . If he was still playing for PSG 2 seasons ago he would won the champions league twice now, who knows maybe the ballon d'or Osman Dembele won last season he would've be the one to win it but he left the club thinking going to real Madrid will favor him more than PSG. Now for over 2 seasons real Madrid didn't win laliga till dates, that's just some makes some players are doing and this was the same thing hazard did whe he was playing for Chelsea,  he left Chelsea to Madrid and killed his carrier i pray he didn't end up like that too.

I agree with you. If Argentina had won the World Cup, then Messi would have had a much higher chance of winning the Ballon d'Or. Because he had a significant contribution behind every victory of the Argentine team in the World Cup. We must understand that winning the World Cup is a big factor in winning the Ballon d'Or. Considering this aspect, Lamine Yamal's chances of winning the Ballon d'Or are very much . Now if the new players perform well, then they can also win the Ballon d'Or. Although we have seen many types of controversies in the past for the selection of winning the Ballon d'Or. Messi and Ronaldo have won the Ballon d'Or multiple times. There is a good reason behind this. Because at that time they performed better than all the other players. Messi has maintained his position for the last few years. He has been performing well. Since the World Cup has been held this year, and this is why the World Cup stands as a big factor.
