Mostovoy: The Ballon d'Or selection has become more difficult without Ronaldo and Messi

Former football player Aleksandr Mostovoy, who played for Moscow's "Spartak" and Spain's "Celta," shared his thoughts on this year's "Ballon d'Or" race. This was reported by Euro-football.ru.

According to him, there are many candidates, making it very difficult to choose the best. Determining who the best player is becomes even more complicated in the absence of huge stars like Ronaldo and Messi.

The publication "Gazeta.Ru" quotes the expert's words. The grand ceremony for the "Ballon d'Or" will be held this fall in Paris, France.

Among the main contenders for this prestigious award are the names of Ousmane Dembélé, Lamine Yamal, and Raphinha. It is remembered that last year the "Ballon d'Or" was awarded to Rodrigo Hernandez, a midfielder of the Spanish national team and "Manchester City."

This prize is awarded to the player who has demonstrated the highest level throughout the year and is considered a great honor in world football. Currently, due to the presence of many talented athletes in the football world, there is great interest in who will receive this award.

Football fans and experts continue to monitor the situation.
