🌟 Who is YOUR pick to win the 2026 Ballon d'Or after Spain win the World Cup and WHY?

thatfan2mo ago

Bellingham must be in with a shout this year

seanfisher2mo ago

Kane or Mbappe

berny1911ae2mo ago

Rodri

vatsal2mo ago

Kane has the numbers but disappeared in the big one. Yamal doesn't have the numbers but anyone who watches him knows he's much more than just goals and assists. It should be between him and Mbappe. Rodri ramped it up but surely too late.

dantowen819512mo ago

There doesn’t seem to be much crossover between players who had a great champions league AND a great World Cup - well, apart from Fabian Ruiz but he’s not winning it

vatsal2mo ago

50 caps, zero defeats. Clean sweep of trophies. He needs more PR for himself. PSG tax is also real.

dantowen819512mo ago

This feels like an extremely open field this year - could Rodri get it again?

vatsal2mo ago

Big game player but not sure he was the best over the whole year?

amirmir2mo ago

If Mbappe gets it after winning zero team trophies, his ego might drive him to the point that he doesn't even bother entering the opposition's half.

matthew.johns2mo ago

Would love it to be Kane, but think Mbappe might get it

brogan2mo ago

It was there for you to take Harry but you let us down when we needed you again 😭

tom.procter2mo ago

Hard to overlook Kane’s output this year

dancoombs2mo ago

Messi or Rodri will get it. Maybe Mbappe has a chance

peter.lynch2mo ago

Kane v Mbappe… although I stand with the defenders, strikers getting all the credit as usual 😭

woodglade12ds2mo ago

Mbappe

johnverrall112mo ago

Think it’s Harry. Not a vintage year but for consistency reasons I’m taking him!

eoin2mo ago

As wide open as it's been, no one at PSG deserves it. Id say Rodri or Kane, but I also think Olise has an outside shout

leeclarke05082mo ago

Harry Kane for me

jamesshearman232mo ago

It can only be Harry Kane. He had a huge headstart before the World Cup and nobody has overtaken him. If Messi, Mbappe, Olise etc had won the WC, it would have been a different story.

james.brooke2mo ago

Nice that there’s no front runner. One thing is for sure is that Yamal should not be winning it. Kane and Mbappe should be front runners

jamie.brown822mo ago

jamesshearman232mo ago

Scored 1 goal at the World Cup

freddie2mo ago

Sir Harry

markmarston2mo ago

Simply has to be Kane. There’s absolutely no one who comes close. 73 goals in the 2025/26 season. That number doesn’t even look real 😂 one of best individuals seasons of all time along with Messi and Ronaldo’s prime.

lee.connor2mo ago

Mbappe is the best player out there but Kane’s season and the fact we got to a semi final puts him in there too. Toss up between those two for me.

charlesjones2mo ago

Kylian Mbappe. Best player in the world so he should win it. Simple as.

markmarston2mo ago

You can’t argue with Mbappe’s stats but by all accounts he was part of a big mess at Real last season
