Who will be crowned Ballon d’Or 2026? As the trophy ceremony approaches in London on Monday October 26, speculation is rife. Considered one of the big favorites, alongside Lamine Yamal and Harry Kane in particular, Kylian Mbappé also has his detractors.
It must be said that the captain of the Blues has annoyed many observers by making numerous appearances in the media to promote his candidacy. The “Kyk’s” is even accused of having distorted the reality about its season to put itself forward by the Spanish journalist Anton Meana
The latter believes that Kylian Mbappé does not deserve this 2026 Ballon d’Or and places Harry Kane in front of him. “Kane surpassed him in every way: he scored more goals, he knocked him out in the Champions League and beat him in the World Cup”recalled the journalist.
“Mbappé made people believe…”
And to add: “Also, Kane won titles in Germany. Mbappé made people believe, through his message, that he had had a better season than the one he actually had. » Facts which are indeed stubborn.
During his promotion campaign, the Real Madrid captain insisted that he was best placed to win the supreme individual award. “I think that when you play for Real, the best club in the world, people naturally associate you with these kinds of titles, he declared. A lot of people in the street talk to me about it and say that I’m a possible Golden Ball. It’s true that I made a lot of history this summer in the most important competition in sport. We’ll see, but I have the feeling that it might be a good year to win the Ballon d’Or for me. There is plenty of time left and people have the freedom to think whatever they want about who is the best player in the world. »
