Official, there's already a Ballon d'Or winner: Cristiano Ronaldo tells Lamine Yamal

Paris will once again be the epicenter of the soccer world this Monday, when the winner of the Ballon d'Or will be known, this time definitively. Stars like Leo Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo, Luka Modric, or Rivaldo have won it, but this year the competition is more open than ever: Lamine Yamal was the best, but didn't win. Just hours before the Ballon d'Or winner is announced, the winner has already been leaked: Cristiano Ronaldo is to blame for what happened with Lamine Yamal.

Among the main candidates to win the Ballon d'Or are Lamine Yamal, Raphinha, and Ousmane Dembélé. The French winger from PSG, who previously played for Barça, won the UEFA Champions League, Ligue 1, the French Cup, the French Super Cup, and the UEFA Super Cup. In terms of titles, it's clear that Dembélé surpasses Lamine Yamal, who only won La Liga, the Copa del Rey, and the Spanish Super Cup with FC Barcelona.

In addition to the titles, Ballon d'Or voters must also take into account the player's attitude both on and off the field. Here, Lamine Yamal falls short. According to "France Football", Lamine Yamal's gesture toward Cristiano Ronaldo after losing the UEFA Nations League final could be decisive in this particular case. There is already a winner of the Ballon d'Or: Cristiano Ronaldo is telling Lamine Yamal, who will be present with 20 friends and family members at the Théâtre du Châtelet in Paris.

At Barça they trusted that Lamine Yamal would become, this Monday, the youngest Ballon d'Or winner in history, but that won't be the case. That's what "France Football", the magazine that organizes the gala and therefore awards the Ballon d'Or prize, would have hinted. According to the French magazine, Cristiano Ronaldo's role would have been key, as he was 'slightly ignored' by Lamine Yamal, who lost the Nations League final.

The Ballon d'Or winner would be Ousmane Dembélé, who has completed an exceptional season and will also be at the French coliseum to receive the mentioned prize. PSG is playing a French league match at the same time, but Dembélé will be able to collect the prize, as he is injured.

It should be noted that Barça, meanwhile, has traveled with a delegation led by Joan Laporta, which also includes Pau Cubarsí, Lamine Yamal himself, and Raphinha.
