Former Barcelona forward Rivaldo shared his thoughts on the chances of 18-year-old wing-back Lamin Yamal winning the Ballon d'Or. This was reported by Euro-football.ru.
According to him, this player has all the opportunities to win the Ballon d'Or in 2026. This season, Yamal is showing an even brighter performance compared to last year.
To win the award, it is important for him to score many goals and provide assists. Not only the level of play but also statistical indicators will be taken into account, said the Brazilian footballer in an interview with Tribal Football.
As a reminder, in 2025 Yamal took second place in the voting conducted by France Football. That year, the Ballon d'Or was won by Frenchman Ousmane Dembele.
