In recent days, Lamine Yamal seems to have become the new favorite in the race for the Ballon d’Or. Author of an excellent start to the season with FC Barcelona and Spain, will the 19-year-old striker become the youngest winner in history? We will have to wait until October 26 to find out. In the meantime, journalists present at the general assembly of the EFC (the association of European clubs) took the opportunity to invite Nasser al-Khelaïfi to give his favorites for the Ballon d’Or. Unsurprisingly, the EFC boss supports three PSG players.
“You are going to put me in trouble with other clubs. I have great respect for all players like Kylian or Yamal. They are exceptional players. I know Kylian very well, obviously. He is an incredible, talented player, and definitely one of the best in the world. I would definitely choose one of my own players. We have three: Dembélé, Kvaratskhelia and also Fabian Ruiz. Fabian Ruiz is the only one to have won all the trophies. So I think Dembélé, Kvara and Fabian Ruiz deserve it, because they won everything. I think they played very well, they were fantastic”he declared in comments relayed by RMC.
