The current AC Milan midfielder was full of praise for England star Jude Bellingham and had plenty of other things to say about his former club

La Liga president Javier Tebas has thrown his full support behind Barcelona midfielder Rodri to secure the 2026 Ballon d’Or. The league chief believes the Spaniard’s heroic efforts during the recent World Cup have made him the clear frontrunner for football's most prestigious individual accolade.

Spain manager Luis de la Fuente has lavished praise on Rodri following the midfielder's high-profile switch from Manchester City to Barcelona this year. The national team boss proudly compared his midfield talisman to Lionel Messi, while also taking the opportunity to pay a glowing tribute to the legendary Argentine after his recent retirement from international football.

Lionel Messi has officially called time on his legendary international career following Argentina's heartbreaking defeat in the World Cup final. The 39-year-old icon, widely regarded as the greatest player to ever grace the pitch, confirmed the news in an emotional statement that signals the end of a two-decade journey with La Albiceleste.
