Former Russian national team and Spanish club Celta midfielder Aleksandr Mostovoy shared his thoughts on the upcoming Ballon d'Or ceremony. This was reported by Euro-football.ru.
The award for the best footballer will be presented on the night of September 22. According to Mostovoy, awarding the prize this year will be the most difficult.
He emphasized that Rafinha had an excellent season, Yamal is creating miracles, and Dembélé has made a significant contribution to PSG's successes. Mostovoy would prefer the Ballon d'Or to be given to either Rafinha or Salah.
Earlier, information circulated that Barcelona player Lamin Yamal was announced as the winner based on the voting results. It was also noted that in the voting, players' achievements were evaluated not according to the previous calendar year but based on the past season.
This news is causing discussions in the football world and is being closely followed by fans and experts. The high level of competition among the nominees for the award encourages players to further improve their professional level.
