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

if you've followed ballon d'or for long ; you'd know that world cup determines the winner most times in mundia year. Mbappe or kane would win it

Chinonye2022:
Lamine yamal wil win it bookmark it

yamal had a very poor world cup outing. He would not make the top2. Screenshot this

U left out Yamal? Ur list isn't complete, though I'm not a Barca fan

Fiscus105:
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.

Bro,

If we are talking about "Individual accolades" alone for this year(which is what the Balon'dor is meant for), then it's absolutely an Mbappe call.

1. Champions league 25/26 Highest goal scorer
2. La liga 25/26 Highest goal scorer
3. FIFA World Cup 26 Highest goal scorer
4. FIFA World Cup all time goal record breaker and holder
5. FIFpro 2026 selection


What else do you want for individual distinction in a striker?

Whats Kane doing there. Non of them deserves it

Pootle:
foden was rightfully sent off, the only major issue in that incident was not issuing bruno a yellow card as well

Or u mean a red card as well because he started the fight before foden retaliated

No one deserves it...they should cancel it this yr

Hmmmmm2024:
no champions league, no world cup..🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣abeg give yamal the award.

It is not only a title award, but also an individual performance award over the last year. Yamal did not tick that box well

Who is the highest goal scorer both in league and champions league. Then give it to him

wunmi590:


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

Where is his trophy?

Emmolap:
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.

Wetin concern fifa with ballon dor?

Una go juat type without knowing anything

Helpfromabove1:

football dont work that way, maybe you need check up the rule of the game

Hemanwel:
You say Bro, Jude Bellingham, to me, was the best player of the WC

Lol... It shows u av zero football knowledge

Messi was the best player at that world cup.

Angelfrost:
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?!!

Oga... Kane no go even reach top 3

You don't sound reasonable tho

even if Mbappe no worth am...you should not put him down that way...

Goals against Weaker team...are you kidding...

And without single trophy, well penaldo won in 2013 without any trophy as well😀

Shame!!!

Mbape all the way!

Remove Rodriguez from the list.
The award is between Harry Kane, Kylian Mbappe and Jude Bellingham.
That's all!!!

Yamal boy think he deserves it

the boy dey overrate himself

cr7lomo:
Messi wasnt the best in champions league. Wasn't the best in ligue1 , wasnt the best in copa America...all hype no show

That's for you. Every aboki with his kettle. FIFA and the ballon d'or organization are the number one administrators of football worldwide and their awards numbers favour Messi. You can create your own award and give it to whoever you wish.

Yes, you're right I didn't know anything, If you go criticise person at least enlighten me on my ignorance not that you just criticise and move on.


You're essentially right though FIFA has no direct control over the Ballon d'Or, but FIFA competitions and rankings still influence the football environment in which the award is decided which determines which countries qualify for a vote

And I hope you didn't forget FIFA and France football jointly ran it between 2010-2015

No one cares about awards these days ...its no longer assists intense as it used to be after they started faking it for their favorite boy ... 2010 was the beginning

Na Messi go win am, make una rest.

If we are talking about the Ballon'dor as a recognition of team effort, then either Xavi or Iniesta should have won it in 2010, because they both won a FIFA worldcup... but a particular Messi won it in 2010, because he made 60 goals look like Cabin biscuits and groundnuts... FIFA did not overlook that individual feat because it was not normal stats.

Mbappe did the same this year... He outscored everyone on All not some, ALL major soccer events... please what does a team trophy have to do with brilliant individual stats that are unreal?

FYI: one of Mbappes goals is even a Puskas award nomination
