2026 Ballon d'Or: Mourinho names Real Madrid player that deserves award

Real Madrid manager Jose Mourinho claimed that Kylian Mbappe deserves to win this year's Ballon d'Or. He highlighted that Mbappe made history this summer by becoming the all-time leading scorer in World Cup history. The French captain is also among the contenders for the 2026 Ballon d'Or after finishing last season as the top scorer in LaLiga, the Champions League, and the 2026 World Cup, despite not winning a major trophy.
