Ballon d'Or 2026 ranking: Mbappe's hopes fade after Yamal masterclass

Lamine Yamal inspired Spain to a 2-0 victory over France in the World Cup semi-final, boosting his Ballon d'Or credentials. Mbappe's hopes took a hit as France failed to break down Spain's defense. Mikel Oyarzabal scored from the penalty spot after Yamal won a foul, and Pedro Porro sealed the win. Spain will face either Argentina or England in the final.
