He is the top scorer in every competition he has played in (World Cup, Champions League, LaLiga) and holds the all-time World Cup goalscoring record with 22 goals in 22 matches.
We mustn't forget that the Ballon d'Or is an INDIVIDUAL award.
Furthermore, the Ballon d'Or needs Mbappé to maintain its prestige; I have nothing against Dembélé or Rodri, but I don't view them as players with the stature of a Ballon d'Or winner.
It would be a tragedy for football if a player like Kylian Mbappé never won the Ballon d'Or or the Champions League. Many have followed his career since his days at Monaco; he has consistently remained at the top level. I believe he would deserve it—for his individual season, his records, his decade-long longevity, and everything he represents for this generation.
Not gonna mention that there was an extra game to get these stats in? That makes their defence even better, but lessens the pass, goal and assist stats.
All of a sudden Rodri should win😂😂😂. No one should win the Ballon D’or based simply on the World Cup. There was no talk about Rodri but he wins the World Cup, He’s a favorite to win.
When he was asked Kylian Mbape he kept quiet cause he saw he's justification for Harry kane was going to be irrelevant😂😂😂😂.what about him he said golden boots in 3 different tournaments
Bravo 👏 to Spain 🇪🇸 for bringing dignity and character to the entire world! You gave us all hope! Messi crying and not trying to wipe his tears away is 101 bad acting 🎭 it’s fake. He should have stopped his teammates from bullying everyone to get to the final. Thank you 🙏 Spain 🇪🇸
Don’t cry for me Argentina 🇦🇷
Fabian Ruiz deserves the Ballondor and he was as good as Rodri at the World Cup. He WON EVERYTHING.
Unfortunately he’s not a PR merchant 😢
Fabián Ruiz has won six major trophies during the 2026 season with his club, Paris Saint-Germain, and the Spanish national team:
1).The FIFA World Cup.
2). UEFA Champions League.
3). Ligue 1Champion.
4). UEFA Super Cup.
5). French Super Cup.
6). FIFA Intercontinental Cup.
Kane scored 73 goals against who ??? When Bayern needed him most where was he ??? When England needed him most again where was he ??? Stat padding should not be celebrated...the real difference makers needs to highlighted more ...the likes of Rodri , the likes of Yamal and the likes of Kvara should be the 3 players competing for the Balon Dor 🤷🏾♂️😊
He is back to his immaculate best again after his injury. On this form, he is the best midfielder in the world by a mile and best player in FIFA world cup. Surely he is a strong candidate for Balloon Dor.
Rodri had an amazing tournament, and deserved the golden ball. However in the Ballan D’or conversation, he has been out injured for most of the season. If he played more, then I would agree.
Haaland broke the EPL scoring record and won THE treble but they gave it to Messi for that 8 match run in the last WC. Why shouldn't Rodri win it now?

For the world Cup the stand out has to be Messi,Mbappe and Rodri
How the going to assess?
..I think only only Fabian Ruiz won both World Cup and Champions League this Season!
