In recent weeks, the news surrounding the Ballon d’Or has caused a lot of ink to flow. While Kylian Mbappé’s statements have been particularly scrutinized and have even been associated with the start of tension with his friend Ousmane Dembélé, another courtier in his own succession in an individual capacity, the name of the winner will not be revealed until October 26 in London. This Tuesday, Luis Enrique lost his calm at a press conference.
On the eve of the crucial Champions League match against Manchester City, the Spanish coach explained that he was tired of hearing about the Ballon d’Or every time: “I’m tired of the Ballon d’Or. What I hope is that we will win this trophy. We have players who deserve it. Last year we won the best team award. We showed that not only Ousmane Dembélé deserved this. I’m tired of the Ballon d’or!» There is no doubt that many observers are in the same state of mind as him.
