2026 Ballon D'or: Who Is Winning The Award Among These Names? by Hemanwel(op): 6:58pm On Sep 14

The 2026 Ballon d'Or is going to be keenly contested between Harry Kane, Kylian Mbappe, Jude Bellingham, and Rodri. Who do you think is most deserving of the award this year?

Personally, me thinks the WC shouldn't be the only criterion to determine who wins the award this year. I mean, it was just a one-month tournament, which took place in the middle of the year; and we have players who have performed right from the beginning of the year.

Therefore, I tip Harry Kane or Kylian Mbappe to win the 2026 Ballon d'Or

It is very difficult to ascertain from this group, but all eyes 👀 on mbappe.

It's an individual award, so Mbappe tick the box, with most of the record he broke

Among these four names that you listed I'm striking out Jude Bellingham.

I believe is going to be between Mbappe and Rodri/Harry Kane.

Personally, I will go with Harry Kane but FIFA might pitch their tent with Rodri for reasons best known to them.

But how do you come up with the list without Yamal, even though I'm not his fan dude prove himself worthy to earn a spot on this list. He performed so well for both country and club.

How Mbappe comes to the scene? Is it because of few goals he scored against weak countries in the world cup.

How will 9 games in world cup supersede a footballer who performed excellent throughout a year, including world cup?

Stop going emotional wen rewarding hardworking.

Sentiments aside: do you think Yamal had a better football year than Harry Kane or Mbappe?

Mbappe had 16 goals in the UCL, and Harry Kane had 14 goals. What was Yamal's individual contribution to Barcelona or Spain?

I have not even talked about the number of goals Kane scored last season

In a WC year, it usually always the player that performed at that tournament , which suggests Rodri has a strong shout.

However, unlike these pseudo football pundits, I don't think Rodri was the best player at the WC ( not even the best player for Spain sef) as both Messi and Mbappe clearly out performed him.

I don't know who I would call the best player in the world, but it is definitely not Rodri

There are only 2 real contenders in my book:

Harry Kane
Rodri

The rest are just making up the list.

Individually speaking, Harry Kane deserves it totally based on overall performance throughout the season down to the world cup.

By the way, how come Lamal didn't make your list, Op?!!

Dembele might surprise many of you and scope the award again.

And Khvicha Kvaratskhelia is a worthy mention. Unfortunately, he didn't have the privilege to be at the world cup.
