⚽🏆 2027 Ballon D'or!!! 🏆⚽

[Saltysugar99]

You have to wait and you can't rush to assume these things. It's true that Kilian is a great player, but what they've said here is true, there are many players who have everything it takes to win the Ballon d'Or. This year I thought the choice was very good. Harry also deserved the award; it wasn't that bad. I was hoping Messi would win it, and that was something that discouraged me from watching this competition. In the end, journalists give their point of view, and they also say that the gap between Harry and Kilian was very close.

It is not surprising that the award for Best Player will never be an occasion for unambiguous emotions when the opinions of individual observers inevitably cause dissatisfaction with the end result of the international press. On the one hand, the scoring record of Harry clearly indicates his right for such an honor; at the same time, Kilian continues to show all his predatory strengths, attracting the audience in each game. It is not surprising that the voters wanted Messi to win, but his charisma creates an illusion.

I also think that many people wanted Messi to win the Ballon d'Or this time too. Although the chances of that were not that high. Still behind such thoughts people's emotions and long-term love for Messi are included . When people considers someone as the best player for a long time they do not want to accept that another else has become the best. And it would be wrong to say that the positive thoughts about Messi winning the Ballon d'Or were only due to emotions. Because Messi did not perform badly. He has been performing well in club matches outside the World Cup regularly. I personally wanted Messi to win the Ballon d'Or again before he completely retired. And this victory should be due to his performance. So that no one thinks that Messi won the Ballon d'Or based on emotions according to the demands of the audience.

I voted for Mbappe in the previous thread, 2026 Ballon D'or, but I was among the minority and, as we all know, he didn't win, but this time nothing is staying on his way to the victory. I'm glad that most people here(or at least from those who voted) think the same. Of course, it's a long run and anything can happen, but if Kylian keeps his amazing level of football - he wins Ballon D'or 2027.

I’m also voting for Mbappe but for Mbappé to win the ballon d’Or next year, he needs to win a trophy with Real Madrid, for them to win the Champions League will be very difficult and for them to also win the La Liga will also be very difficult but I believe they can fine a way to win at least one trophy.
Mbappé is a very good player and I am sure that he’s going to make or become the highest goal scorer in La Liga and also in Champions League.
Mbappé has done so well in football so he deserves to win the ballon d’Or once or twice.

Let’s not forget that the Nations League finals will take place this summer, this trophy will significantly influence the players' standing - if only because people tend to remember the end of a period better than the middle. Anyone who puts in a standout performance during those matches (as well as at the start of the 2027-28 season) will greatly boost their chances. And it’s clear that Mbappé has a better chance to shine with France than Haaland does with Norway (though that’s open to debate), and certainly a better chance than Raphinha, who won’t be playing in any major tournament this summer.

If Argentina had won the World Cup, without a doubt, Messi would have won the Ballon d'Or, but look, it's not all bad that Harry won it. I was saying Kilian would win, but we shouldn't be so selfish. Kilian is younger than Harry, and Harry has fought hard to get where he is. He won his first domestic leagues, he's making history with Munich, he's a player who is also a role model. This edition of the Ballon d'Or is starting to convince me to believe in his decisions again.

Had Messi won the Ballon d'Or, it would have been extremely disrespectful towards all the other football players. Messi left Europe, and therefore important football, years ago. Now he is playing in the MLS which is basically an elephants' graveyard. The English Premiership is more difficult than the American MLS. Giving him the Ballon d'Or because he scored against Jordan and Cape Verde would have been the end of football.

Even if Real Madrid do not win the Champions League or La Liga this season, Mbappe can still win this award. Because it is not mandatory when giving the Ballon d'Or award. However, I believe that if Real Madrid can win the Champions League and La Liga, it can increase Mbappe's chances of winning the Ballon d'Or. Since individual performance is given more importance in giving the Ballon d'Or award, I think he deserves to win the Ballon d'Or award. Of course, club and national team success cannot be ruled out, because these are also considered when giving the Ballon d'Or award. What I really want to say is that winning trophies is not the most important thing. How well Mbappe played throughout the season and what he contributed to the team in important matches is more important. We can talk about the story of Ronaldo winning the Ballon d'Or in 2013. At that time, he received the award even though he did not win any major team trophy for Real Madrid.

No, he can't. What was the main reason that made him not to be given this year ballon d'Or, even after becoming the top scorer in the uefa champions league, the Spanish laliga and in the world cup? it's obvious because he won nothing with his real madrid team last season and with France, so for him to stand a chance of winning the 2026/2027 ballon d'Or award, he has to win at least one big trophy, like the uefa champions league or the Spanish laliga while doing very well individually, because without that, he stands no chance of winning it .

Without a doubt? So...what happened to Yamal and Pedri, why didn't they win? I mean, they even won the laliga et al. Messi was already having bad publicity amongst fans and football supporters—mostly due to haters—giving him that award would've solidified their claim on FIFA's favoritism towards Messi. Although I know those claims are just haters talking.

All eyes now is on Mbappe to deliver, he stands as the most highly rated player to win the next Balon Dior. Last season he came close but the lack of trophy was a major setback for him, but on individual level he’s got it and he seems to also have the platform to outshine his counterpart. He’s now playing for Real Madrid the biggest club in the world and also France one of the best national team in Europe, he stands as the best player for both club and country so if he could replicate his last season form, winning the highest goal scorer in all major competitions he will be playing in and cap it off with at least one trophy then no one can come close.

[Charcol]

Mbappé may reduce in performance, so could Yamal as well, the 2 big matches that Barcelona played I already witnessed a bad performance Yamal from lamin Yamal failing hold possession, and scoring even in a 1v1 moment with the keeper, so there are more to what we have already seen, let's see how their performance will be this season

This is a champions league year and so, each of them will have to ensure that they win it, become the highest goal scorer and also try to get something from their respective league. mess up in any of this and your chance of winning the 2027 ballon d'or is dashed.

If they can perform well in the Champions League and domestic leagues, Mbappe and Lamine Yamal's chances of winning the Ballon d'O will increase. But being the top scorer does not guarantee the Ballon d'O award. Because the Ballon d'O does not look for the player who scores the most goals, but rather the player's individual performance is given more importance. Even team success and Fair Play are considered, which may not need to be said again. There is a separate trophy for the top scorer. Look at Rodri, who won the 2024 Ballon d'O award. At that time, he was not the top scorer, but he was given the Ballon d'O award. Because he showed outstanding performances in midfield for Manchester City and Spain, and his team success put him further ahead in getting the award.

You are actually right, the only reason why Mbappé did not win the ballon d’Or was because he did not win any major trophy with his club or France, if Mbappé had win the La Liga title or the champions league title or even the World Cup he would have won the ballon d’Or.
Individual performance Mbappé did very well, and if it was something that individual performance counts more than team performance, Mbappé would have won the ballon d’Or because in individual performance he was the best he even made history.
He was the first player to be the highest goal scorer in the La Liga, champions league, and in the World Cup in the same season.

Yes, I agree, although the criteria for winning the Ballon d'Or can vary greatly; there's no set guide. More or less, those who have won the Ballon d'Or seem to have won something significant, a local league title or something that defines them far more than other very good players who haven't won any major competitions.

In this case, Harry excelled in the World Cup, won the Bundesliga, and his behavior was worthy of a Ballon d'Or. I also think that behavior should be exemplary and set a good example.

One thing I have observe about ballon d'Or is that when they want you to win the ballon d'Or the rules will change to your favor, I don't even know the criterias that is involved for you to win the ballon d'or anymore, sometimes they will say when you win major trophies you will be qualified to win the ballon d'Or, sometimes they will say winning trophies is not important that what is important is the contribution or your personal achievement, so I really don't know the criterias anymore, I believe if it was messi that was in the position of mbappé they would have given him the ballon d'Or this is what they have been doing.

Their is no set criteria for the award, and it's because of that many voter are voting wrongly, and they are voting based on their personal love or hate for a player, not based on merit. That is why the Lionel Messi example you used was perfect, because if it was Lionel Messi that that was among the three favourite for the award, he would have been given the award wether he deserves it or not, because Ballon D'or award is more of favouritism than merit, because if they are going by merit, two of the Ballon D'or award that Lionel Messi won was undeserving and this one that Harry Kane won is also undeserving because he was the least performer between yamal and mbappe that compete with him.

This Ballon D'or has become more complex than we imagine because the more we analyze the reasons why it will only favour someone with some certain trophy on the league that's also how you would discover that even those who has more trophies has lost the Ballon D'or award to someone below their trophy, so actually we shouldn't only dwell on this criteria we believe because it could surprise us that our next Ballon D'or will be someone who didn't win any of this league, so actually so long as the player has enough performance and nominated I wouldn't see it as an impossible thing for him even if I'm supporting another player.

Unfortunately you are perfectly right. And the saddest thing is that the voters are professional journalists, people who are supposed to know about football and should be totally independent in their decisions and yet, here we are, we adult people fighting over their favorite player. I still can't comprehend how Messi arrived in the 5th place. I understand it's the World Cup but you have to play in a serious league too, otherwise it's too easy.
