Yamal Suggests Dembélé’s Ballon d’Or Favourites May Be Biased
Barcelona winger Lamine Yamal has played down Ousmane Dembélé’s early picks for the 2026 Ballon d’Or, suggesting the Paris Saint-Germain star may have favoured players close to him. Dembélé reportedly named PSG teammate Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, Bayern Munich striker Harry Kane and Real Madrid forward Kylian Mbappé as his leading candidates, leaving Yamal out. Yamal said he remains satisfied with his performances and understands why Dembélé may back other players. He added that their relationship remains good despite their rivalry on the pitch.
