1 / 3
Rodri says Barcelona have chosen to support Lamine Yamal in the race for the 2026 Ballon d’Or rather than back his own bid. The Spanish midfielder, who won the award in 2024, said the club believe Yamal is their most deserving candidate. He added that he hopes a Spanish player wins the prize. Both players are among the 30 nominees. Yamal is seeking his first Ballon d’Or win after finishing second last year, while Rodri is hoping to reclaim the award.
