Diego Simeone has snubbed Lamine Yamal and Kylian Mbappe to back Lionel Messi for the 2026 Ballon d'Or. The Atletico Madrid manager believes the Argentine superstar's remarkable World Cup exploits at 39 outweigh every other contender in a star-studded field.
The recent statements made by Kylian Mbappe during the Ballon d'Or ceremony on 26 October are currently causing considerable unrest. The reigning holder Ousmane Dembele is said to be furious as a result, and the same is said to apply to other France internationals.
