Lamine Yamal Says Mbappe His only Rival for Ballon d'Or
- Real Madrid forward Kylian Mbappé insisted he deserves the 2026 Ballon d'Or, asserting that no player outperformed him this year despite failing to win team silverware.

- Individual achievements remain Mbappé's focus for the October 26 ceremony, as he contends his performance warrants the honor despite France's semi-final World Cup defeat by Spain.
