As the race for the 70th anniversary Ballon d’Or intensifies, Yamal has emerged as a primary contender alongside Kylian Mbappé. However, Yamal has sparked debate by criticizing the award’s current criteria. In an interview with Movistar Plus, he argued that the Ballon d’Or should recognize the ‘best player in the world’ rather than the most prolific goalscorer or the player with the most team trophies. He suggested that high goal counts should be honored by separate awards and that team trophies belong to the club, whereas the Ballon d’Or should remain strictly individual.
