Also author of a very high-level season with Bayern Munich, with 26 goals and 19 assists in 51 matches in all competitions, Luis Diaz spoke about the 2026 Ballon d’Or in an interview with ESPN. The 29-year-old Colombian, who should logically be among the nominees after his excellent season, was notably asked about Harry Kane’s chances of winning the prestigious trophy.
“He is the best in the world, without a doubt. He proved it throughout last season and he has been showing it for a long time. The truth is that he can do everything, as I said before. I admire him a lot because I feel like he doesn’t do anything wrong. He makes his teammates play, runs, defends, scores goals and also knows how to score from afar. His mentality is incredible. For me, he is therefore one of the main candidates to win the Ballon d’Or. I hope he can lift it and we can all be happy for him”explained the former Liverpool left winger.
